How do I add videos to my video Ipod?

Question

I just got an 80gb ipod video. I've been trying to figure out how to get video onto it. I did some research, realized I needed a converter, so I'm now using aimersoft. Still, even after I converted the file to mp4, I dragged the file to itunes, it only comes up as an audio file. Any idea why this happens and how to fix it?

That's a problem with the converted file.  Check it's properties and make sure it says it's a .mp4 file, not .mp3.  If it says it's an mp4, but still won't play as a video, try another converter. There are a lot of them out there, and some work much better than others.
