How to transfer movie to ipod classic? Other questions too

I have been using an ipod mini for ages, just gave it to my daughter and bought a 80gb ipod classic. When I set up sync movies, does it copy every movie from my movie folder to my ipod? It doesn't seem to work even I set it up properly. Can I copy movie manually? I have copied 2gb of music last night, this morning I plug my ipod to sync the address book, eject properly, the songs are gone! Photos are still there though. Do these ipods come in window format? In itune it shows window format, it makes me wonder, I only connect ipod to my macbook pro. Thanks!

Since you only intend to use the iPod on a Mac, I think you will find better performance, if you restore the iPod on your Mac to make sure it is in Mac format.

you can manually copy movies to you ipod. all you gotta do is open itunes, click on ipod icon. and select the unchecked Copy to iPod Manually". and you can go to movies and drag them into your ipod. I really dont have an answer for your computer/ipod question, but I think you maybe want to restore your ipod. Click Restore on the Ipod window in Itunes and it will take a few mins, but you should be good to go.
