I'm not a Mac person, but I'm following along. Do I understand this correctly: You can only access a USB stick via an App specifically made for that stick? And can only access files that that app allows? So if a usb manufacturer doesn't provide good codecs, you might not be able to view videos directly on the stick? Wow, that's limiting.
Given that many USB sticks allow transferring of videos and none (or is there one? which one BTW?) allow HTML, wouldn't it be better offload the videos to a stick instead? Your daughter's bound to run out of space if she keeps making videos on the device. I would be surprised if your personal data weighed in at more than 10 megs. On my ancient 6 year old Android devices, 10 Megs is about the upper limit. But 10 megs is an awful lot of information in text form. 6 megs can hold an entire Bible for instance, which is about equivalent to 6000 one page documents.
