How can i change the format of videos so they can be synced with my iPod nano

I have an ipod nano (3rd generation) and have had no problem syncing all my music onto it etc. But most of my videos are unable to be synced and a message saying 'so and so cannot be synced as it cannot be played on this ipod'. I've looked it up and apparently I need to change the video format / create it to ipod or iphone version. I found this by clicking on the episode and under file, clicking 'create new version', there are then three options of versions to create including ipod or iphone but they are all faded and i am unable to click on them. Why is this? help!

iPod supports MP4 video. Actually, there are many online apps can do the video conversion for your, such as zamzar, Acethinker Video Converter, mediaconverter, etc. They are totally free, and you don't have to download or install anything. Take Acethinker as sample.

1) Visit Acethinker Online Converter

2) Click 'select files to start', locate your video and add it into the app

3) Select MP4 as output format in the Format drop-down list.

5) Click Convert button and select a folder to save your converted video

6) Click Start to run the conversion.

7) After you get the converted MP4 video, drag and drop it into iTunes, sync your iPod Nano with iTunes, done.
