Not sure why you would need an external drive for comics though. I have a lot of manga and I can fit all I want on the iPad no problem. You must have a crazy large digital comic collection.
You don't need to jailbreak to copy videos from an external drive through the camera connection kit. All you have to do is create a DCIM folder in the root of the external drive and place all video files in there. Of course the imported videos are placed in the Photos app instead of the Videos app, but I think that if you wanted to import directly into the Videos app on a jb iPad it would take more than just copying the video to the correct folder... you would probably have to update a toc file as well.

it didnt work with comic zeal. copied them in there and restarted app and nothing, I believe due to them changing how you can get files onto the apps (iTunes file sync) that this no longer works.
Well for example one folder of a series could Easily be 500MB. so I would rather have the ability to add and remove at will when I'm away for a few weeks.
Yeh I want to be able to get video in and play them in a 'proper' video app as I havent hadmuch joy with playing them the way you described with none of my videos being recognised.
VLC is currently in beta by Zodttd who makes some good emulators so I'm hoping that will hit soon and allow me to play more video choices.
