How to Download Videos to an iPod Nano From Google
The iPod Nano media player ships with a connector cable so that you can connect the Nano to a computer and transfer songs and videos onto the device. To download a video you found on Google to your device, first download the video file onto a computer, then transfer that file to the iPod Nano while it's connected to the computer. Not all iPod Nano devices play video files, so before you proceed, make sure that your device supports video.
