mod multimedia to be read by from Win to iPad via Camera Connection

README.md

photo-bat

A personal multimedia transfer hack for Win to iOS

This formats multimedia files to be read by the iPad via Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

Working WIP

This is just a quick and dirty script. I was playing with BATCH and learning "ancient" DOS scripting. WARNING! I dont have any error traps. So read the prompts and dont commit the final step untill you agree with the confirmation screen.

Dependancies:

• iPad (i still have and use the iPad 1)
• Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit
• multimedia

I have not made the Bash version yet.. but you get the gist. It will be the same thing but Bash-ed
