With your iPod video file format ready, click the Start<\/strong> button (bottom right hand corner) to begin the conversion to iPod video format (MP4).<\/p>\n

Processing time depends on the size of the original video and the quality settings you’ve chosen for the iPod video.<\/p>\n

A television show in 1.78:1 format of roughly 44 minutes, with a file size around 350MB, with iSquint using Standard Quality, will take about 15 minutes to process on a MacBook Pro Core2Duo 2.2Ghz. The output MP4 video file size will be around 90MB.<\/p>\n

If you checked the “Add to iTunes<\/strong>” checkbox earlier, the MP4 video file will be automatically imported into iTunes.<\/p>\n

Connect your iPod to your Mac.<\/p>\n

Start iTunes.<\/p>\n

Click on your iPod on the left hand column.<\/p>\n

On the right you’ll see multiple tabs, one of which is Movies.\u00a0 Click that.<\/p>\n

The top half of the Movies tab is for rented films.\u00a0 Ignore that.<\/p>\n

On the bottom half you’ll have a checkbox for Sync Movies<\/strong>. Check that to ungrey the rest of the options below.\u00a0 Now you’ll be able to pick and choose individual MP4 videos to transfer (Sync) to your iPod, or simply transfer all movies.\u00a0 After making your choice, click Sync<\/strong> at the bottom right hand corner.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>: Strangely, the first time I sync’d movies to my iPod Nano 5th Generation, iTunes asked me if I wanted to sync the movies to this iPod, which would erase all of the current songs, movies, files, etc.\u00a0 Basically, iTunes was asking to erase my iPod completely and start synchronizing from scratch.\u00a0 Not sure why this happened, but I simply created a playlist with all of my current songs and let iTunes wipe the iPod.\u00a0 I then just resync’d my current songs playlist and I had both songs and videos on my iPod.<\/p>\n
