Essentially what they are saying is -

1. You will need a piece of hardware called iPad camera connection kit - http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MC531AM/A/apple-ipad-camera-connection-kit

2. Move the video to the USB

3. Plug the USB into the camera connection kit

4. Using the Photos app on the iPad - it should "see" the video files on the USB in the camera connection kit and import them to the iPad
