So instead of syncing my videos with iTunes I just want to copy over my video files straight to the iPad either using Cyberduck or just scp them over.


In what directory do I put my movie files so that when I hit the "Video" app my files will be there?

Thanks in advance.
 
You can't do this. In order for videos to show up in the Video app, you have to sync them through iTunes. This is because there's a database file that iTunes has to write the videos into.
 
A movie folder is present on Ipad in that there was a content folder in that folder you can see video folder. If you did not fine movie folder then you it will some time present in favorite libraries. In my ipad a movie folder it located on stuff.

What's wrong with iTunes? It's a great way to sync your iPad.
