Is there a way to transfer sony Handycam videos from the camera HDD to my ipad?
iPad 2, Transfer Video from Sony Handycam
Used Converterlite to convert mpeg to mov then followed the other steps. put in DCIM folder and renamed with 8 characters in file name and it worked. But you cannot use a flash drive that uses any power (i.e. light up when connected)
What format are the videos? I transfered some .mov videos using a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.
Cheers, Tom 😉
I had coverted the Sony format video to a mpg format. Your steps let me copy the file to the ipad with the camera cenection kit but the video will not play on the ipad.
