Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) 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.)

Photos taken with a camera and transferred to the iPad using the Caera Connection Kit are not optimized and the full file is copied to the iPad. Depending on the file size generated by your camera these full size files are most likely larger files than actually needed on the iPad.
