How Do I add Video's to My 60GB Ipod?

I am very new to Ipods. I have only had it 3 days and I can't manage to get my video's which are on my PC transfered onto my Ipod. My video's are in MPEG Video format. Can anybody help?

Dell Dimension 5000, Windows XP

Yes. They have to be converted into a format that the iPod understands. It is very fussy about it too - just being in mpg format isn't enough. iTunes won't even copy anything that isn't exactly right.

Use Videora iPod Converter.
http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/

Use these settings...

Video
Mode: MPEG-4 > CBR
Resolution: 320 x 240
Passes: One (two makes almost no difference except doubling the time)
Bitrate: 384kbps
Framerate: Input

Audio
Bitrate: 96kbps
Channels: Stereo
Sample Rate: Input
Volume: 100%

On the profiles page, click 'New Profile', type a name for your profile, enter those settings and press apply.

On the 'Settings' page, select your profile, select an output directory and click 'Save'.

Switch to the 'Convert' tab in the left pane. In the convert page, click 'One Click Transcode', select your video and wait for it to finish. You'll find the result in the output directory you selected earlier.

Welcome to the Forums!

This is about the 300th time ive seen this question, so everybody listen up:

1. you need videora ipod video converter(recommended by me, if you have a pc)- http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/

2. you need itunes - http://www.apple.com/itunes

3. you need a usb 2.0/1.1 cable (firewire wont work with 5G ipods)

4. go to this website, and look at the pictures, they have all the information you need, as in file format and what not, so go there and make sure your settings are what the pictures are, make sense? - http://twelveblackcodemonkeys.com/convertingvideo_for_the_videoipod.htm

5. After converting, upload to iTunes, then connect your ipod to your computer and it should auto update for you
