What do I do?videos have to be in a certain forma to be played by the ipod. im not sure exactly what it is but i think it is mp4. that is the format of the videos that i have in itunes. put the videos in the movies, or tv shows folder thing in itunes, ten sync your ipod.As iPod support MP4 video, you may find a converter to help you convert videos to MP4. Then copy to iTunes for iPod.

I recommend you to try Daniusoft Video to iPod Converter which I used good now.

If you still have questions go to find more here: http://answers.yahoo.com or leave me an email.iPod accepts only MP4 format video, please make sure your video is compatible with iPod. If your vide is MP4 video, please follow these steps:
1. Open iTunes and click "File" to add your videos to iTunes library.
2. plug in your iPod to computer, then iTunes will detect your iPod as a device.
3. Select your iPod device on the left panel of iTunes, click "Movies" tab, check the videos you want to sync and click "Apply", done.

If your video isn't MP4 format, you need third party software to convert video to MP4. You may try an iPod converter develped by Aimersoft; it embeds an iPod manager that can help you transfer DVD movie and video to iPod directly. It works really nice for me. Here is a guide about how to use it
