Best way to transfer video footage from iPad to laptop/PC?

[Thegreatthomasio]

Help!!!! I decided to use my Gen 3 iPad as a video camera. The best part? The footage, in good lighting, looks amazing. The bad part? Getting It transferred to my computer has been a major headache. Sending it to myself in an email greatly reduces the quality of the footage. Hooking it up directly to my and copying it over is a major problem also. It doesn't compress the footage correctly and while the quality looks really swell, it is all jittery and the audio/video doesn't sync correctly. If anyone knows any tips or tricks, they would be greatly appreciated!!
