Depending on where a video originated, it the video can be imported into iTunes and can be played with iTunes, iTunes includes an option to covert a video to iPod/iPhone format. With the video selected, at the iTunes menu bar go to Advanced and select Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone.
If this doesn't work as intended - with some content converted this way the video is available but not the sound, there are some ripping utilities available that include a preset for an iPod and/or iPhone.
