Transferring videos from Sony cybershot camera to iPad with Camera Connection kit

My USB CAMERA CONNECTION KIT works when I transfer photos from my sony cybershot camera, but when I try to open he videos I get an "cannot read" error. Any ideas?

Your Sony Cybershot video format is probably not supported. See list attached.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's an iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie

How do i transfer the same video from my phone to my ipad with the same id account

How do i transfer the same video from my phone to my ipad with the same Apple ID .

Your question doesn't make a lot of sense without a little more information. You can't transfer a video from the phone to the iPad by connecting the devices. There are WiFi transfer apps that will let you send a video from one device to another one. I get the feeling that isn't what you are really asking though because that has absolutely nothing to do with your Apple ID.
If you want to download the same purchased movie to the iPad that you downloaded to the phone, go to the purchased tab of the iTunes Store on the iPad. Tap the Movies Button. Tap Not on this iPad. Find the movie and tP the cloud icon next to the movie icon and start downloading.
You must be signed into the same ID on the iPad that you bought the movie with on the iPhone.

Transferring video from Sony memory stick pro duo

Traveling to Scotland for two weeks. Would like to transfer video from Sony HDR-CX110 HandyCam directly to iPad.
Think I've read that the Sony HandyCam does not allow easy transfer to iMac or iPad. We won't be taking a laptop, so transferring video throughout the trip is not an option. Suggestions?
Thank you,
7 Acre Wood

Make sure the Sony has one of the supported formats below.
Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;

Can anyone help me move video from Sony HDR-XR550 to ipad 3gs via camera connector kit?

Can anyone help me move video from a Sony HDR-XR550 to ipad 3g via camera connector kit?

You can use iPhoto for the import. iLife apps are integrated. From within iMovie you have direct access to iTunes for adding music, and iPhoto for photos and videos in the iPhoto library.
Or you can use the Image Capture application for the import if you prefer placing such imports into manually created folders and not using iPhoto.

PS CS6 has no sound with AVCHD videos from Sony Cybershot

System Specs:
PS CS6, fully updated
win7/64 fully patched
16gb ram, 11+ GB free
ssd scratch drive, 40gb free
camera: Sony cybershot dsc-hx30v
files: *.MTS
CPU: intel quad core sandy bridge 2600k, 3.4Ghz
GPU: AMD 6950 2gb
The videos play fine in VLC 2.0.1, windows media player, GSpot 2.70a (in thumbnail window). An ancient Nero showtime even sort of plays the video (choppy and partially mangled), but the audio is fine. VLC and WMP play smoothly at full screen, 2560x1600.
In PS, there is no audio. Both microphone icons have sound waves emanating and I have tried all 4 combinations of mute and play.
I can edit and save them to h.264, high quality, 1920x1080, 59.94 fps, progressive *.mp4 file. The video plays on the other players, but again there is no sound.
GSpot shows LAV splitter -> ffdshow addio decoder -> ac3filter -> default directSound device (see details below)
When playing in PS, the video is choppy. It will play for ~1/2 second and then stutter.
Searching for a suitable group with key words (photoshop cs6 avchd video no sound)
yields 505 groups. Looks like any group to have ever had cs6 in a thread. Hmmm.
It can't be a codec problem if every other video product I have plays the files. It is certainly not a hardware limitation. It looks like a PS bug.

Meredith,
It is perfectly legal to decode Dolby to simple stereo with the licensed codec included with Windows 7. There may be some restriction on writing AC-3 content in 5.1 format. If Adobe wanted to, it could read from the licensed, installed codec and write the edited files in any of the audio formats it does support.
I do not believe it is a can't; it's a won't.
"... only a few digital cameras on the market with that encoder."
There are dozens of digital cameras and camcorders from Canon, Hitachi, JVC, Leica, Panasonic and Sony which use AVCHD and many more are on the way.
Almost every medium and top-tier video editor also supports AVCHD/MTS format including Avid, Premier, Final Cut, AVS, Blender, VideoStudio, PowerDirector, Windoz Movie Maker, Nero, Pinnacle, Vegas and Openshot.
Adobe advertises on http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/features.html:
Intuitive video creation
Bring Photoshop editing power to your video footage. Easily enhance any clip using the full range of familiar Photoshop tools, and then create movies using an intuitive set of video tools.
Adobe needs to add a bit of fine print here:
Easily enhance any clip [1]
[1] Disclaimer: Adobe has made a strategic decision to withhold Photoshop support for Dolby sound common on many newer and higher fidelity cameras in order to not cannibalize sales of Premier Pro. If you have or plan to buy a video device from Canon, Hitachi, JVC, Leica, Panasonic or Sony, you may not be able to edit or even view movies with audio unless you also install Premier Pro ($799) or use a third party tool to perform audio brain surgery on your movie to rip your audio and hack it back into Photoshop in a non-Dolby form.
I feel that I was mislead by Adobe. And Adobe is still advertising this "Any Clip" claim even though the Dolby "defect" was reported in March in Beta testing. Please don't advertise what you don't support.

Importing video from sony handy-cam?

I have an older sony handy-cam, model DCR-HC20, that I wanted to transfer video from to my imac for editing/storage...also, I have a new project I am working on. So, the handy-cam has usb and fire-wire, but my imac doesnt recognize it when plugged into usb, and no fire-wire port on the imac...I looked at Sonys website to see if there was software for my setup, but it doesnt look like it. How do I get my old videos onto my imac to archive, and for future projects should I invest in a newer HD cam, more compatible? THanks, E-

Hi
The version no: as iMovie is a bit confusing..
if your iMovie is not the lastest version(11 or 10.).
Is one from sort a. and the other from sort b.
iMovie HD6 - was version 6.x.x (and previous follow this) (one set of iMovie 1 to HD6)
iMovie'08 = version 7.0.x (a totally new product - Wrongly named as iMovie and should have version no: 1.0.x)
iMovie'09 = V. 8.0.x
iMovie'11 = V. 9.0.x
iMovie'13 = V. 10.0.x
Just to make information clearer and easier to understand.

Transferring videos from non-mac laptop to ipad air to be used in Keynote

Hi!
I've 2 questions regarding the ipad which I hope someone can clarify for me.
1) Can I transfer videos from a non-Mac laptop (not bought via itunes) to the ipad? Will it function well?
2) Can I then use these videos in Keynote as part of presentations?
Thank you!

You can use a service like dropbox where you upload them from the laptop and then download them onto the iPad.
The one rub will be if the video is in a format that the iPad will play.
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 60 frames per second, High Profile level 4.2 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
as to inserting it into keynote, you may want to research and see how that works on the iPad.

Problems transferring video from iTunes to iPad

Can anyone help with transferring video from iTunes across to an iPad. This has worked smoothly in the past but now nothing seems to transfer across. Within iTunes on my computer, I've opened the iPad and chosen a new movie to transfer (ticking the box adjacent to the film). There apperas to be plenty of space left on the iPad (currently 3.98GB) .Then I've clicked Sync. At the top of the iTunes window, the iPad is shown as syncing (very quickly) but when I check on the ipad, the movie hasn't transferred.
Next, I've disconneceted the iPad from iTunes and restarted it - I've also tried restarting within iTunes - then reconnected to my computer and tried a fresh Sync. Same problem; the movie won't transfer. On the list of movies shown in iTunes as being on my iPad, the new movie shows up (albeit in grey - so not loaded). As it's not displaying in videos on the iPad, I can't delete it to start afresh.
Any suggestions welcome....

Thanks for the link. As noted I've managed the transfer on many occasions before, but for some reason the iPad and iTunes no longer feel like syncing. I did finally manage the transfer by restarting the computer (as well as the iPad) then trying to Sync the iPad. It shouldn't be such an issue however!
With regard to the home sharing, point taken but my wifi doesn't reach the room where I want to watch the movie on the iPad. This option doesn't work for me...

When I synced my iPad with my laptop it did not transfer 3 videos I took with my Sony Cybershot camera. Why?

When I synced my iPad with my laptop, it did not transfer three videos I recorded on my Sony Cybershot camera. Why didn't it do this?

I responded to your first post and assumed that you didn't have a computer. If I was wrong, I apologize for misreading your question.
Did you totally erase the device and not restore from a backup? If you totally erased the device and set up as new, the passcode should not be on the device.

I recently got a iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download my photos from the memory card for my camera, a Sony Cybershot. When I put my memory card in the adapter and plug it in to the iPad nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

I recently purchased an iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download pictures from my camera to my iPad. When I put my memory card into the adapter and plug it in to my iPad nothing happens. My camera is a Sony Cybershot and the memory card is a Sony memory stick PRO duo 512 mb. I don't think I am doing anything incorrect. Is my camera/memory card incompatible with this adapter?

The Camera Connection Kit works with SD cards, not Memory Sticks.
Maybe you can find an MS to SD adapter, or use the USB connection with the USB cable that came with the camera.

AVI videos from iTunes don't sync/play on iPad, but via Camera Connection Kit - YES

I synced about 100 events (containing both photos as well as .avi "video" files) from my MacBook Pro-13" (10.6.8) to my new iPad 3. NONE of the avi files transferred, but then I kinda expected this as I understand iPad can only play m4e or MP4 video formats.
BUT then I transferred an avi file from an SD card using the Camera Connection Kit - and the video played just fine! I'm going to redo this -- the 58 second video appears in the videos section of my iPad under "movies".
Can anyone explain why this worked via the Camera Connection Kit but not via iTunes - and indeed why the avi file plays at all on the iPad?
Thanks.

Johnathan, -- I wrote this below in bold then the discussions site went down for maintenance and then Menneisyys and Kiwiphone4 replied and I think they are confirming what I'm saying here (only a bit more technically correct).
Thanks for your comment – but my issue is not with pirated or other movie video from the www, rather (as Menneisyys points-out) with videos I take with my Nikon Coolshot camera. What has perplexed me is this:
I synced about 100 events (containing both photos as well as .avi "video" files) from my MacBook Pro-13" (10.6.8) to my new iPad 3. NONE of the avi files transferred---
BUT:
…then I transferred an avi file from an SD card using the Camera Connection Kit - and the video played just fine!
Why on the same iPad with the same .avi video does it transfer via the CCK and play on the iPad, but not via an iTunes transfer.
PERHAPS THIS?!: The .avi movie NEVER MAKES IT into iTunes because iTunes cannot play an avi movie; therefore if it is not there, it can't be transferred. That must be it or something like that. (The avi movie I transfer from my Nikon is in iPhoto - and it plays in iPhoto - but since photo and video transfers to the iPad go via iTunes, and iTunes apparently can't bring-in avi, then it cannot act as the "bridge" in the way the CCK does.
Is that it?
Thanks everyone for any comments.
