Add Videos to iPod - Apple iPod View

Add Videos to iPod - Save your video in a format that is compatible with iTunes. That usually means either a Quicktime format or an MP4 format. You can tell which ones they are by the extension name after the movie's title: it should say either ".mp4", ".m4v" or ".mov". Quicktime allows you to convert most movie files to these formats. Simply open the file in Quicktime and click "Save As" in the File menu at the top of the screen. It will automatically save a new version of the file as a Quicktime movie, which is iTunes compatible. In addition, videos directly downloaded from the iTunes store should automatically be compatible.

Import the video into iTunes if it is not there already, either by using the "Add File to Library" command under the "File" bar in iTunes or simply clicking and dragging the file onto the open iTunes screen. Check the "Videos" or "Movies" file on your iTunes display to see that the movie is there, and click "Play" to let it run and ensure that it is working correctly.
Highlight the video, then go to the "Advanced" menu on the menu bar on top of the screen. Click "Create iPod Version" or "Convert Selection for iPod." Wait a few minutes while the conversion completes (this could take quite some time for large files). If you have downloaded the video from the iTunes store, you may skip this step.

With the lone exception of the iPod Shuffle, iPods come with video screens that allow you to display album covers, music information and play videos as well. Apple's iTunes store offers a number of movies, TV shows and music videos for download, and you can also transfer home videos to an iPod through iTunes. Once you do, it's very easy to upload video from iTunes to the iPod itself.
