Download a program called videora converter. Drag your files into that, then drag your converted file into iTunes. Done.

dont you just use itunes to convert the media into something the ipod can read?

otherwise find out the exact file extension and use a video converter to convert it... thats the worst thing about some of those players is that they all arent compat with evry format and especially not each other

Dude - unsure if you have an ipod video or not - but the posts here from people that do are pretty definitive about using the video converter.

Not itunes. Not looking at the file extension. Use the convertor (of which there are a couple avail).
