Hi Evalani,
Re transferring video from your digital camera. This is why I am buying a 60 G iPod tomorrow. In the Apple store, I had no problem transferring a video from my Sony DSC-H1 digital camera to an iPod, using the camera connector. Do you have one of those? My video is in MPEG1 and although the iPod will accept it for storage purposes, you cannot view it on the iPod. Are you sure the video files are not on the iPod, since it will tell you that the format is unsuitable, but the video is actually downloaded. At least that's what the iPod screen was showing me. Then we transferred the file to an iMac in the store and there was my mini movie, ready for editing, etc.
