Answer 1

Ipod just supports mp4 format.you need a video converter.

Cucusoft Ultimate Converter Suite converts all the media file to play on almost any portable device including iPod, iPod touch, iPod video nano, iPhone, Zune, PSP, video capable MP3 players, video capable mobile phones, and Pocket P.C., etc.  Meanwhile, it can also support output almost any audio/video format including Video format(H264, MP4, WMV, AVI, MOV, RM, 3GP, flv, SWF, mpeg-1, mpeg-2, VCD, SVCD, DVD, etc.) and Audio format(AC3, AAC, MP2, MP3, MP4, RA, WMA, etc.).

Answer 2

most movies and shows have too high a bit rate and too  big a display size as downloaded so you need to convert it (makes a copy and does not touch the original which is used for TV/Computer or apple TV viewing).

under the advanced menu select "convert for ipod/iphone) then it will make a second file and then sync that to the ipod and it will play.

this is mentioned in the small print when you buy movies or tv shows from itunes but if you get the movies form other sources you obviously miss out on this help.

Does it play in iTunes? If it doesnt then it wont work on your iPod.
