I was able to create a video playlist in iTunes the same way you create a music playlist. It then shows up as a video playlist in my iPod, but (like you've experienced), it doesn't play continously. It does however, play continously in iTunes. The main reason I want this continuous play video playlist is to periodically (every couple of months) drain my battery. So playing it iTunes defeats my purpose.

It seems to me that this is just a bug with the iPod. 😟

I was having the same issue and it took me a while to figure it out. The resolution provided earlier sets the continuous play in itunes (I think), not your ipod. To set your IPOD to play continuous videos, do this:

1. right click the video fine in itunes and select Get Info.
2. click the 'Options" tab.
3. UNCHECK 'Skip When Shuffling".

I had to do this one-by-one for each video file. It seems the default is to check that box unless your video was purchased from the istore (stupid), so you need to uncheck it manually if your video is from another source, like youtube.

Hope this works for you.
