I don't consider this to be a very viable workaround.  The videos are on
the camera memory card and so one would have to either copy them onto
another USB drive with the suggested DCIM folder, or copy/move them from
their native location on the camera filesystem to another location on
the same filesystem.  Either way, it's inconvenient, and not something
that someone who regularly imports videos would want to suffer through
more than a couple times.
