My husband has an Ipod 80gb classic is it possible to download videos/dvds/tv programs on to it. If so how is it done. I will be spending 2 weeks in hospital with my daugter so need plenty of things to keep me sane!! It this is a really stupid question then sorry I can't cope with all this high tech stuff!!!

you need videos in the correct format for the ipod.
where are you getting them from/what format do you have?

i use http://www.aone-soft.com/ covertor software so i can rip stuff from youtube.

you can just drag videos to itunes then add them to the ipod playlist.

excellent so I (DH) would need to download
the software first and then convert it. Or find it already converted on web. I will give my husband that job then for the weekend!! Do you know which websites have these already converted? So if a tv program was available on the web ie channel 4 and now BBCi could they then be downloaded to ipod? As you can tell I ain't got a clue about all this! But will impress husband by my newly found information!
If it wasn't for this website I would have been in bed 2 hours ago!!!
