Why can't I transfer videos to my iPod?

Video podcasts
While downloaded through iTunes, video podcasts are actually provided by individual podcast authors and in some cases may not be playable on the iPod. If the podcast is correctly encoded it will sync to the iPod without issue.
Other video sources
Videos that were not purchased from the iTunes Store are typically not in a format that is playable on the iPod, but in many cases, they can be converted to the correct format using iTunes 6.0.2 or later or with QuickTime 7 Pro. To convert your movie to a compatible format follow one of the procedures below:
