Q: I am trying to connect my JVC Hard Disk Drive Camcorder to my IPAD 2 via the Apple camera kit. I am able to down photos, but video files not showing. Camera shows Mass Stoarge. How can I download videos please.

Make sure your JVC videos conform to the following format:

The video must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).

The file name only has 6 characters and I'm not sure what the .mod format is. So that's why they are not seen by the iPad.

Another way to transfer. You can use 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; DSCN0164.jpg).

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. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Download the movies to your computer, add 2 characters to the file name and then transfer to the iPad via a USB drive.
