By downloading the program, you instantly increase the number of videos you can play on your iPod and are not restricted to the library at the iTunes store.

Check out sites that offer free video content for the iPod and MP3 players. You can find music videos as well as comedy sketches, roasts of the president and more.

Choose video from TV and download it with a program like DVArchive. You can also choose MPEG-D Video. Use a program to convert the video and choose the highest setting. Dictate the setting by the size of your iPod’s drive.
