I just got myself an ipod video the 30gb one, an upgrade from my ipod mini from a while ago. I'm just wondering if theres specific video filetypes that you have to use because so far my .avi wont load into itunes when i say 'add file to library'. What am i doing wrong

you need a converter, go to whatever P2P program you use and search for programs called, "ipod converter" i use xilisoft and it works really well

if you have a video in itunes just left click on the video on options will come up, one will say convert for ipod or something, it also helps to make the file size smaller
