How to Convert Videos to iPod Nano Format
The iPod Nano is a portable media player that allows you to transfer your music, movies and TV shows from your computer to the device. The iPod Nano supports the MPEG-4 (MP4) video format, which is the standard video format for most media players. To convert your current videos to MP4, you must use a video conversion program that can be downloaded from online shareware software sites. Once the videos are converted, add them to your iTunes library and sync them to your iPod Nano.
