cool a computer user that admits to not knowing everything :) anyway, im not sure about putting movies onto an ipod (as i only have an ipod shuffle...) but im sure the video file has to go thru itunes. so if you can convert your videos to maybe a mpg or avi file type it may help That is exactly what he (And myself) are trying to do, i hear there is free trial of madZ ipod video converter, ive used it myself and find it to be the best converter out there, but only gives you 4 free converts :(
