Answer 1

Yeah for all iPods, video files have to be in mpeg-4 format.

I recommend downloading the Videora iPod converter from videora.com. It's free and easy to use and has never given me any problems. It'll convert any type of video to the right file format for your iPod.

Also, if you download your videos from iTunes, they will automatically be in the right format.

Answer 2

You should make sure the video is MP4 or H2.64 video for iPod. You can try this DVD to iPod Video Suite to rip DVD movie and convert videos in any format to iPod. It is the fastest converter I have used. Also, the output quality is great.You can download this software free from here

Answer 3

As long as they are in mp4 they should be good to go. You can check the format by right clicking the file and sellecting properties. The first tab will or may say mp4 but check the details tab, which is the last tab and see what it says it may say something different. If it also says mp4 then it should deffinetly work. The new gen ipod uses  mp4 and h.264, which is a hidef format for mp4.
