Answer 6

Seeing as you can't insert a DVD into your iPod, you can't. It must be imported into iTunes for the iPod video section to find it.

I guess it's actually possible not to, but you'll need to do so much work you would have time to import it into iTunes and watch it from start to finish six times before it even started to work.
