"I have a small number of videos (movies) managed in iPhoto. They cam off my digital camera (Canon PowerShot) and they go into iPhoto. everything has always been happy. I select a small number of them and add them and some photos into a new album for my iPad. The photos work fine (shot and stored as jpeg and RAW) the videos do not transfer over. There is an error message about the .mov format not supported. Any ideal?"
