Office Space came over fine, but Sherlock Holmes and several other movies with 2+ hour running times didn't. The import would start, but then silently fail after 30 seconds or so. Not sure if it's running time, file size or something else that it's choking on.

Does work fine for photos, so I guess that's something.
You can play videos from a stick or usb drive you do need to jailbreak though, then download the free ifile app and use that to navigate to your sdcard or memory stick and the film will then open in movies just fine.it's ace. Also you don't need to actually import them to the pad they play straight from the stick/ sd card
