How to Put Movies on Your iPod Using Floola
Floola is a free, donation-supported content management system compatible with most iPod models. Floola installs as an application on the iPod, making it possible to perform tasks that are not easily done with iTunes, such as managing the content on the iPod with multiple computers and moving content off of the iPod to a computer. Use Floola to put movies or music on your iPod, if you do not like iTunes or want to try a content management program with more features.

Use the drop-down menu at the bottom of the window to select the type of iPod, e.g. "iPod Video 5G, 5.5G." If you do not know the type of iPod, Floola offers a suggestion. Click the "Save" button after making your selection, then click "Yes." Floola downloads a list of media from your iPod. Be patient, as this may take several moments.
