I just bought an 30 gig Ipod video last week. I downloaded two tv show episodes and was watching them today. I started with a fully charged battery and the battery died half way through the second episode. Did I get a bad battery? I thought the battery life with video was supposed to be 3.5 hours. Should I try to get a replacement?

If you look on Apple's ipod website they actually admit that the battery life estimates are under the best of circumstances. If you don't pause or mess with the volume or do anything else, you can get close to the stated battery life time. If you use it normally as everyone else on the planet does, you can expect a couple of hours max.
Also, if you go out to the ipod website, it will tell you how to test your ipod to see if the battery is operating as normal. I'll see if I can find the link again and post it later.

battery life is meant to be 12 hours, yet whilst u shuffle songs, watch video, video games, then the battry will critically pass down Or u would desire to purchase a clean battery using fact after 5 months the ion battery turns into purely 80%. It wil save lowering till u ought to purchase a clean battery

It might've shown that the battery was full-charged, but it might not have been fully charged... you should maybe try watching them again, or if you keep having problems.. take it in to the place you bought it and explain to them your problem.
hope all works out!

Try the best software I have seen AVS Video Tools.
It can convert to/from all key format, upload video or DVD directly to key portables like iPod, Sony PSP, Archos, Zen Creative, and mobiles.
It can capture video from DV or webcams, TV tuners, DVB-T, DVB-S, transfer VHS tapes to DVD, remove commercials, edit video, copy and burn DVDs and video files: AVI (DivX, XviD, etc.), MP4, WMV, 3GP, 3G2, QuickTime (MOV, QT), SWF, DVD, VOB, VRO, MPEG 1,2,4, MPG, DAT, VCD, SVCD, ASF, H.263, H.264, RM, DVR-MS.
There is the free download link:

Actually, that sounds about right. you can get a little more life by turning the brightness down but new out of the box, i'd get close to an hour....
