First of all make sure you have the 5G Video iPod, otherwise it's different. Well if you have it then you need to download a converter program that will convert your video files to mp4 or H-264 format, the only formats your iPod can play. So I suggest a free program like Videora iPod Converter (Google it) and just make an mp4 copy of your video. Then drag and drop them into iTunes and update your iPod then you have movies on your 5G iPod. Now if you have a different iPod (1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, Mini [all with black and white screens {monochrome}] or an iPod Photo or color, or a Nano) you have to do something different. First of all you need something called iPod Linux. If you have no clue what this is then you need to go to http://iPodForum.co.nr/ and register in the forums to learn all about it, what you can do with it, and how to install it, which is very easy. Because not only can you watch movies on your iPod (yes, even if it has a black and white screen), but you can also play games on it, like Doom, Half-Life, Quake, Pacman, Tetris, all the Mario and Supermario games, and more. By the way, proof of all this is on that site above, http://iPodForum.co.nr/ But just get iPod Linux on your iPod by going to that site and reading the tutorial that shows you how, then you will learn how to play videos on it from the same site. Enjoy!

You will have to download two free programs though called DVD Shrink and Videora. Go to www.afterdawn.com and type in the search box DVD Shrink. This program is used to rip the movie off of your dvd. NExt, go to www.videora.com and download Videora. This program converts video files to the mp4 format, which is the correct video format for the ipod. IN DVD Shrink after it rips your movie off the dvd, make sure you save it in a place where you'll know where it is, for instance in the my videos folder. Next, go to Videora and open up your movie file from wherever you saved it and it will convert it for you You will have to pick a place for it to be saved once again (change the name so you dont et the ripped movie mixed up with the converted movie. that can be done before you convert it just change the name). Then go to iTunes and open up the converted movie file in iTunes and update your ipod. You can also use Videora to convert music videos to the correct format. You can download movies from Limewire and then convert it using Videora. Good Luck!! If you need my assistance just im me or email me. I'm tooraw88
