iPad not importing GO PRO HD - H.264 Video

[Globey.DK]

Hi

Import straight to my iPad2 works great with HD Hero2.

i tried in 960p 50fps (R6) and 1080p 25fps (R7) both with and without LCD screen attached.

I used the SD-card reader provided with the camera connection kit.

It says " the ipad dosent apply this accessorie"

What the hell is this?

Then why won't yours work? iPad doest support plug in keyboards or USB syn as this device states it supports. Get the apple one for $20 more and it will work.

CoolAppSeeker, your post was very helpful, thank you!

Does this methodology apply to the iPad mini as well? Has anyone had experience connecting a GoPro and iPad mini?

CoolAppSeeker's Post:

First of all, GoPro HD videos are amazing! So I quickly experimented with the iPad, here is what I found, hopefully help:

1. For r2 setting, 30fps 720p, it will be imported via camera connector as MP4 file, but cannot be played. It should be a very minor issue and iPad next iOS version should fix it. Why? Read on..
2. I imported from iTunes by copying files directly to an app that support MP4 files. It works instantly. However, you must connect it via iTunes. No big deal as most people would want to connect to iTunes anyway. For travel purpose, i am using the MacBook Air, works like a charm.
3. But we all know that iPad's resolution is only 1024x768, why overkill with the large file? iPad is amazing to scale any videos in lower resolution to full screen in almost the original quality. The point is to SAVE spaces. How? just use QuickTime Pro, Command+E, use Apple TV encoding, and you will get the HD quality on your iPad. I imported to a video slideshow app and all my Gopro HD videos are categorized beautifully. I am taking it to a tradeshow to show off. Will get tons of WOWs.
