Import Canon PowerShot MOV to iPhoto for Sync to iPad, iPhone
“Ok so I have an album with a few mo vies filmed with an iPhone on my iphoto as well as a few mo vies filmed with a Canon PowerShot (also records in .mov). When synced with my iPad, only the videos from the iphone transfer over. Then I get an error saying the video format isn’t supported. I encoded ALL of the mo vies to a .mov (same settings on all) and tried again. Once again only the iphone mov ies transferred. Ideas?”
