ok i have the movie in my library and in my video area on itunes why isnt it showing up on my ipod itself..?
Use my copy and past method. Find file (not in itunes). Copy it. open itunes. Plug in ipod to itunes. Wait for list to show up. click on your ipod's name (bob's ipod, edward's ipod, etc...) and hit CNRL + V (control+v is paste). You will then see the updating bar on the top of itunes.
Firstly, have you converted your video library into iPod compatible .mp4? If so, what program did you use?
