For the OP: Did you even try Google before asking the list? Google should always be your first choice. http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-iphone-6.html For Scott: If you install the VLC app on the iPad you can probably skip the transcoding and also having to add the video to iTunes first. You'll only need to transcode the audio if it uses AC3, which is proprietary and the owners have been issuing takedown notices for any app using it (so VLC doesn't support it). Otherwise VLC can handle any video format (the days of having to use a special profile just for an iPhone or iPad are long gone). You can then copy the videos directly into VLC using iTunes file sharing. ~ Brian Mathis @orev On Thu, Oct 20, 2016 at 7:22 PM, Scott Robbins <scottro11 at gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, Oct 20, 2016 at 05:11:51PM -0400, m.roth at 5-cent.us wrote: > > Bowie Bailey wrote: > > > > There's also MTP packages, that can speak directly.
