I am trying to transfer a video from my iPad to my PC. I tried the "Simple Transfer Pro" app, but it could not locate any videos on my ipad, only photos, yet I can play it, so I know it is there. Any reason why this would happen? Any help is appreciated!

You do not need any other apps! You should be able to simply plug a USB cable into your iPad and PC and the phone will then appear as a storage device on the PC.Choose "Open device to view files", then it will appear as a storage device. Go to the DCIM directory and you will find another folder, which are different in different computer, look in that folder and you will find the photos and clips. Otherwise, you can use iTunes to transfer these video from iPad to computer, which is similar to Mac.
I'm having a similar or the same problem, you are not the only one, jut one question, how long is the video?
I'm having this problem with a 45 minutes video, browsing the web I found more people with similar problems with long videos. for all the people trying to help I'll try to describe the problem. the video was shot with the camera app, it appears on Photos and on the videos album, I can watch the video, I looked on Icloud to see if it was there but no. the problem is that wen you connect the iPad to the PC as a camera, ALL other photos and videos ARE there EXCEPT for the one video, is like a ghost video that only appears on the Ipad.
Any suggestions?
I have exactly the same issue as you- as soon as the video goes over the 20 min mark it turns into a ghost video and there is no way to get it off the phone! I haven't found any solutions yet but hopefully someone will find something! I need these videos on my computer and i can't have them taking up space on my phone. Its two videos for me, both over 8GB in size.
Make sure you have blue tooth turned off. I had the same problem and once I turned that off I was good to go.
