Answer #1

Ipod videos use an MP4 format. This is mostly exclusive to Quicktime and Apple products like the Ipod. Itunes videos are usually downloaded in MP4 format for copyright reasons, so transferring them to your video ipod shouldn’t be an issue. It is more than likely an issue with syncing the videos properly.

Make sure that you are syncing the videos properly. Try making a playlist.

Answer #2

Actually, iPod support MP4, M4V, AAC and MP3 formats. iTunes can help you to convert MOV files to MP4 format. Also you can use the 3rd party software to convert more kinds of format of multimedia files besides MOV to the formats that iPod support. I always use Aimersoft Video Converter where you can find it on http://www.aimersoft.com/video-converter.html
