I know this is a daft question - but is it a video capable ipod?

I know I accidentally put a video in my videos itunes folder (was meant to go elsewhere) and will happily play on the PC but not on my nano - pre video version.

(Not that I expected it to play mind you - but did try it)

Hmmm, have you converted it or did you download it as mp4?

The method I use is to go to http://www.techcrunch.com/get-youtube-movie/ and paste the URL into the space there. It will download as "get_video". When it's fully downloaded, rename the file to "filename.flv". The .flv bit is the important bit!

Then download videora from here: http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/ and convert from .flv to .mp4

Put it on itunes and then onto your ipod.

Yes it is a video enabled ipod. I have also converted the files to mpeg4 so really do not understand why when they are on my itunes, they will not go to my ipod.
But then again, I have always been a techie thickie. I think technology is great, but when it goes wrong, or I cannot use it properly i'm always stumed.

Thank for you help, it is appreciated.

Having tried a few of the ways mentioned on this post, the method above was the quickest and easiest for me!

So the problem is now solved and I would like to thank all of youwho replied.

CHEERS!

The above site has several free programs for downloading videos to ipods and other conversions - it will even download just the soundtrack from a video to mp3 if required

Save using a 2 process method of downloading to a flv file and then converting it.
