    You will have to use software such as Handbrake to re-code it.

    I actually did use HandBreak or maybe it was iSkySoft.  Either way, it is the same mp4 format as the other items I have transferred. Unless you are telling me mp4 is incorrect?

    Thanks for your help.

    iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1497 - incompatible format for devices.

    Thanks!  For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine.  It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do.  The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.

    So, thanks anyway!  Pretty cat!
