Importing videos: camera roll vs videos app

Hi. I've just discovered that it's possible to import videos into either the camera roll or the videos app. I wonder if one of these methods is better than the other? The only advantage of the videos app I've noticed so far is that it shows some details about the video (e.g., size, resolution).

Update:


I wasn't satisfied with the stock videos app because it didn't show full video titles, so I downloaded a 3rd party app. To my surprise, it allowed me to access both the camera roll videos, as well as the videos uploaded to the videos app. I don't think this level of access was allowed a few years ago. Not bad.


I wonder what happens to the videos imported into the camera roll when the ipad is connected to the laptop with a cable? Will the photos app import all those videos? I've never tried that because I only use photostream of whatever it's called to sync photos wirelessly.
