This may be a dumb question and I could probably do a little more looking into about it, but is there a certain type of video file that the video must be when putting it on the ipod?

I tried last night converting a video through itunes and putting on the ipod. it was able to convert but it wouldn't let me drop the video into the ipod stuff. any ideas or tips?

Do a search for iPod video converters and you should find some free programs (iSquint, Handbrake) etc that will let you convert your videos into an iPod-ready format.
