3.after the convertion,follow the instructions: plug your iPod to computer by the usb cable and open iTunes -->the iTunes will detect your iPod as a device-- add your videos to iTunes by selecting 'Add to Library' from the File menu or dragging and dropping the videos from your computer-->click 'Apply' to synchronize your iPod or choose the videos you want to add from the iTunes's video menu or drag and drop to the video menu of ur iPod.

  ps:i don't suggest you use the 'sync' function as all of your preexist videos or musics in your iPod will be covered.

good luck!

Answer 7

iPod only accepts MP4 video format, if your movies are MP4 format it can be played easily in your ipod.

however, if not, then you need a converter to convert them to ipod supported format.
