Importing movies to SD for transfer to iPad

I have lots of my dvd's ripped to external harddrives.  I would like to import them into the kids iPad minis using an SD card and the Lightning to SD reader.  So far I have been unable to add the movies to the SD card.  I am not very familiar with using SD cards and have never transfer data to them.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

For movie files to be seen, they do need to be MP4 files - which the iPad will play.
On your card, make a folder named DCIM
Edit your movie files to have a file name of 8 characters.....Mov12345.mp4 for example
Put those movie files into the DCIM folder
put that card in the reader and your photo app should open. You cannot see the name of the files. nor can you preview them from the card. The only way to view them is to import them, watch and then delete...so you have to make sure you have enough free space on your harddrive.

  • Some movie rentals i can transfer from ipad but most not! Whats the problem? They are all SD.

    Some movie rentals i can transfer from ipad but most not! Whats the problem? They are all SD. Some are watched others not. It just seems to be a fluke sometimes that they show up in the rented movies when i sync. And bought movies I always have to manually transfer to my computer!

    How did you rent them ? From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • Importing movies to purple iMovie from iPhone, iPad, and iPhoto

    I have created movies on my iphone and on a Lumix camera. I am trying to figure out the best way to have all my movies in iMovie rather than iPhoto.
    I have already likely made the mistake of transfering my Lumix data to an iPad with iOS while I was in Asia. In retrospect, I suppose the best way to get those pictures from my iPad to iMovie would have been to not export the movie from my iPad to my Camera Roll and into iPhoto but rather from my iPad to iMovie.
    I also suspect that my iPhone pictures seen on Photo Stream on my iPad would have been best exported to iMovie and from my my iOS iMovie App to send to my Mac iMovie application.
    Are these two ideas correct?
    However, some of my movies are already imported into my desktop iPhoto. So, I tried dragging and dropping to my Mac's desktop. I then imported my movies (that came from my iPhone) into my Purple version of iMovie. That was fine except when I trashed my desktop movie to the Trash, it became greyed out in iMovie. So, next question is what I am doing wrong at this point?
    Next, my movies from my Lumix imported into my iPad were also then transferred to my Mac OS iPhoto. I dragged those pictures to my desktop but the format is not xx.mp4 but rather is xx.MOV. Is there a better way of dealing with my iPhoto xx.MOV's to get them into Purple iMovie?
    Finally, should I just leave all my movies in iPhoto and when in iMovie desktop just view them from the Aperture or iPhoto sidebar?  Can they or should they be imported from the sidebar into iMovie?  If so, can they safely be deleted from iPhoto or will my iMovie clips return to being greyed-out?
    I would ideally like all my movies in iMovie and not have duplicate movies in iMovie and iPhoto.What is the best way moving forward to do this properly and to be optimizing my time and organization?
    Thank you

    Regarding iPhoto "also importing into my local iPhoto library" -- that is up to you and is controlled by a setting in the menu  iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > Automatic Import.
    I have used both Photo Stream and the USB import method and find it easier to not use Photo Stream and just periodically do the USB import and immediately delete from the Camera Roll.
    Another option you may want to look at, if you just want to delete a number of pictures already imported in the past is Image Capture. It allows you to select photos on the phone (previously imported or not) and delete them without importing if desired.

  • What are the Flash alternatives for iphone and ipad?

    Hello,
    I would like to know what could be the Flash alternatives for iphone, ipod, and ipad. I would like to create iphone applications that have 3D animation I usually create with Flash.
    But since Apple does not support the use of flash, I need to know what applications or programming languages I must use to create movies or animations for iphone or ipad.

    I would ask iTunes Store support for help with this. You may never be able to get the movie to download on your own now.
    Go here and then tap on Connecting and downloading, then tap on Movie Rentals. You can have someone contact you, you can chat online or you can get email support. I would opt for the phone call or online chat.

  • Will Quicktime Pro convert movies in other formats for use with IPad Air 2

    ITunes 12 will let me import movies with no problem. However I cannot export these movies out to my IPhone 6 or IPad Air 2. Will Quicktime Pro allow me to convert these movies so they can be exported? I don't want to spend the $30 for it if the software will not do it.
    Or if anyone else knows of another solution, I'm open to other options. I use to have an Samsung Galaxy 2 tablet and I just switched over to an IPad Air 2. Been using an IPhone for years.
    Thanks!

    Nearly all "all-in-one" or multifunction devices will work with a Mac, but I recommend purchasing one from a company that visibly supports OS X. Brother, Canon, and Epson are all good choices. At present, no other common printer manufacturers are worth considering.
    Wireless all-in-one devices are convenient and cost about the same as USB-only ones. Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs.
    Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. I recommend AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices over those of other manufacturers. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
    I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
    Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
    Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
    Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.

  • Trying to transfer movies from my mac to my 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.)

  • Which camera to directly import movies to iPad

    hello
    i would like to buy a small camera (under 200 $) whose movies i could directly import onto the iPad to cut them in iMovie.
    But if i understand well, there are problems with the file format.
    With my own Canon G10 for instance, it works like a charm, but with the Nikon P7000 of a friend of mine, the iPad is not able to playback the imported movies.
    But strangely, both record in h.264, but it only works with the G10.
    I would be glad if someone would point me to a specific under 200$ model where it would work for sure.
    many thanks
    Francis

    Canon 5D Mark II, but I don't know about the file format, the files are .MOV files. Thanks!

  • Movement type for transfer of stock from Stock-in-transit to Vendor

    Hello,
    Is there any movement type for transfer of stock from Stock-in-transit to Vendor.
    For internal transfer from Plant to Plant we follow Purchase Requisition -> Stock Transfer Order (PO – Modified) -> Delivery (VL04) -> MIGO (Goods Receipt against Delivery) method.
    The problem arises when the actual delivery quantity is less then what is entered in the system (due to clerical error). That is, physically less quantity were dispatched and received at the receiving plant. Now the balance quantity is lying as stock-in-transit. To clear it we are receiving the material and using transfer posting for plant to plant transfer. Though physically there is no transfer of goods. Now we do not want to receive the material instead we want it to transfer from stock in transit to the supplying plant. Is it possible ?
    Thanks.
    Ashish

    Hi Ashish,
    When You issue the stock,  the accounting document is posted . There is no accounting entires when you do Goods receipt at receving plant . In case , we are developing to make it happen , I feel it may have impact on the Material Valuation aspects .
    Hence, I feel it is better to adopt any of the following 2 options.
    1) Cancellation of the entire delivery and make new delivery   or 2) Receive the entire qty  at the receiving plant and decide what you want to do with the unavl  qty . For example in your case of loss of material due to accident , you can scrap the material in the receving plant itself  or return the material back to the sending plant.
    Regards

  • How to Import .MOV files in Adobe After Effects, I am Using Canon 700d for FilmShooting

    Hello,
    I have Just brought a canon 700d and started Shooting HD Movies but now i want to add some effects in my video E.G. Twixtor effect for slow motion but I am facing a problem that i cannot import .MOV file in Adobe AE CS4. Please help me. Also If you can tell me any free converter for .MOV to AF file format.
    I am using Windows 8 OS.
    Thanks!

    CS4 is much older than Windows 8. CS4 is meant to work on XP or Vista. Getting it to run on Windows 7 was a bit of an issue, so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you have CS4 running on Windows 8 at all.
    It's also possible that a new camera records in a codec that such an old version of AE doesn't understand.
    Make sure you're running the latest update to your version of AE. You're on version 9, so make sure you've run the Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.3 Update (I would not suggest updating in the middle of a project though, as any changes might break AE). I would like to reiterate: you're running a version that was released six years ago on an operating system that was released much more recently. So, be careful how you tread. However, if you're not running 9.0.3, you're missing some bug fix updates that might solve your problem.
    I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of AE.
    That being said, as Dave mentions, CS4 and earlier had lots of trouble with MPEG-4 and other codecs that used interframe compression. Can you open the files in your version of Premiere? If so, you can use Premiere or the Adobe Media Encoder to convert to a proper intermediate codec. MOV is just a container format. QuickTime with the PNG codec will work in After Effects CS4 with no problems as will the other codecs Dave mentions.

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Check material movement types that are activated for transfer to GTS in 4.7 ecc.

    Hi
    We are using 4.7 Version of R3 and GTS version 10.
    Please let me know how to check the list of movement types that are activated for transfer to GTS.
    Thanks & Regards
    Karthi

    Hi Karthi,
    Usually your questions are of a technical nature, so I assume the answer for you in this case is table /SAPSLL/TLER3B.  Select where APEVS_R3 = 'MM0C', and either CUSRV_R3, GCUMA_R3 or GRIMA_R3 are not initial.  The result in field BARVS_R3 contains the Movement Type and Movement Indicator (KZBEW) concatenated.
    Hope that helps.
