Right, it's fairly hard.

You need to download an MP4 converter. I use Alive iPod Video Converter.

Download the files straight from anywhere such as limewire or any other p2p's then convert. Add the mp4 file to iTunes and your done.

ALternately doenload a program called iTube (windows) and get YouTube videos straight to your ipod from copyi ng and pasting the url. I would reccomend it!

Thanks,
Dan

Thats the major problem with iPod video and all those video players. Theres no clear way to put on videos.

Xilisoft iPod video converter is the best converter i've seen. It converts pretty much anything and you can change exact settings over the output (converted video) like Fps, Audio Bitrate and Video Bitrate.

Download the trial version (which only lets you convert videos up to 5 minutes long) and then find a keygen to make it the full version (lets you convert videos as long as you want).

On iTunes, File >> Add to Library. If it's a valid format (mp4, or any other supported formats), it should appear in the TV Shows, or Movies section. I added the frosties advert, I downloaded it from the site as the mobile version (mp4). And it was added to Music Video, or TV Show. I can't remember.

How do you do that? Because when I explore a DVD CD, I get loads of different video clips, all in some weird format.
