I just received an OTG cable. I have a Canon camera and a stock 3.1 Xoom 3g.
When I connect them I can open the gallery and import images just fine. But, I don't see the videos that are on the camera at all.
Is there a way to import these videos?
I know that I can root, and then install a kernel with full USB access. But, short of that, is there any other way? I tried to use a file browser, but don't see the camera at all. Should it be mounted to the Xoom filesystem? I was not sure where to look, but it doesn't seem to be in /mnt.
Or is it just that the gallery app is able to "talk" to the USB, about images only, and isn't doing a mount?
In that case, is it an issue with the specific model of camera that I have, and it not being able to "talk" to the Xoom "about" videos? Only about images?
Thanks,

I would also like to know if there is a way to import videos from camera.

I like TP function that they could connect to monitor out for presentation, etc..
But would it be better if TP could use TV-Out cable as a TV-In and record some TV programs, and convert into FLV or MPG formats ?
Anyone could develop this idea?
Thanks.
I don't think it has the hosrpower to do that.... Outputting is one thing but receiving a signal and encoding on the fly... Naaaah not gonna happen...
However a small device that plugged into the USB, and essentially streamed video direct to the built ijn memory card would be possible, but somebody would have to create it !
I don't think it can be done, for the same reason you can't just "convert" a TV-out on a PC video card to TV-in. It requires different hardware, which isn't there. That's why you need to buy a video capture card.
Well, you could just point your camera at a TV showing the video source...

You mis-understand, the device I have in mind IS a video capture card, with USB host facillities, allowing it to use the phone as a USB hard drive to store it's video on, this video could then be played back on the phone !

Yes, I think that's a valid idea, I was actually replying to asiandelight's post, because he mentions the TV-out cable.
I am curious if any of you use your TF for doing presentations for clients at wherever you work.
I have a couple of apple guys in the office and with their Ipads they have downloaded a program called "Portfolio" which I have not found in our Android market.
The basic functionality is that it lets them break up galleries into folders, so they create a folder for each product. Then for the client they can just click on the folder for the product they want to see and can show them photos/pdfs/etc.
Is there any way we can do that with either the standard gallery or another gallery?
U don't need special app to makes different folders for your different clients. The stock gallery already supports this.
Go to your SD card via any file manager, create a folder "client". Then create more folders within "client", name each of these folders with your clients name. Then drop the related files in their respective folders.
The stock gallery should pic this up and display your client's name in folders.
Apart from that, u can try Quickpic as an alternative gallery, its more flexible compared to stock gallery.

+1 for QuickPic.
Also recommending QuickPic.
If we could only have Quickpic with the smoothness of JustPictures ^^
Thanks for the tips!
Quick question, if we have some marketing videos that I would also want to use that are either in Quicktime or WMV will they work on the transformer or do I need to convert them to something else? If so, what is the best for conversion (both time, ease, and quality)?

Yes for WMV as long as the resolution isn't too high (1080p isn't smooth with this format, I've tried. 720p or lower is fine for me), but you'll need to convert Quicktime into a more useable format such as MP4. You can use Handbrake to convert it, it's free so nothing to lose in trying it out.
I'm having a similar problem to one I noticed in a different post, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987102 . I need to save HD video to an external storage device directly, as this guy wanted to do. However, every camera app I've tried, and ursafe media director doesn't recognize my usb otg hard drive as a location. the only way I can browse it is through file manager. Any suggestions? I have a Lenovo S-3000, takes 1080p video, and I want to be able to record directly to a thumb drive with it. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I've been trying to find a way to do this on a physical device for some time now. I'm wondering if it's possible to connect a webcam to my phone via USB-C, and use it in apps such as TikTok or Snapchat? I know there's apps out there specifically to view external cameras, but I couldn't find any to use them in other apps. Root is ok.
