Sorry, I have not tried that so won't be able to tell if you can Sync the video over with a cable.

I have sync movies from computer to iPod without problems using iTunes.

I just drag the file into iTunes when it's connected to my iPod 4th gen. But the video file has to be the right kind. .mp4 files work well.

If you want to convert file formats, the program Handbrake is very good and is free.

Place the videos in your iTunes video library and sync them to your iPod. You many have to convert the format to one compatible with the iPod. One good program is the free HandBreak program.

See:

iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos

iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

I say the best app is called Pod Transfer App. It makes it easy to transfer from computer to iPod, iPod to Computer, iPhone to iPod, or even iPod to iPod via Bluetooth or Wifi. The best part is that it transfers the RAW images or videos without any compression.
