Changed the name to 8 characters with no space and extension. It now works. ThanksThe iPad can be (or used to be) rather picky about file names. Try changing the videos name to one with eight characters (plus exertion) and no spaces.

Glad to help.
The iPad User Guide for iPad is availabvle in the iBooks Store for free, or you can use the web based version here:
https://help.apple.com/ipad/10/
Make sure you get the most recent version, or the version your iPad is using if not the most recent.
Apple does not offer a more extensive guide, though they've recently released an Apple Support app that is worth checking out:

I haven't seen any third party guides I would recommend.
Of course, one of the reasons we exist is because no guide is really big enough to cover everything.
Your problem may be caused by incompatible codec issue, try to download some professional iPad video players or use a free video conversion app such as free video dvd converter ultimate to convert the unsupported video to ipad playable H.264 or MPEG-4 file format.I have 2 video files on a SD card, when I connect the SD card to the IPAD with a lighting connector. The IPad sees and can import one the video files but not the other.
