    I downloaded an episode of viva La Bam from limewire and i want to get it onto my 30gb iPod. I have tried dragging the file to iTunes onto the "video" section on the left and it was a circle with a dash through it meaning i cant put it in there. Then i tried putting it into the tab that is for my iPod where i put my music and nothing! Then i went to where i had put the show file and right clicked the file and went down to send and clicked "ipod" and i waited for the transfer to end and i checked my iPod and still not there! Im using windows XP, if that makes a difference... Plz help me!

    If the episode is not .mp4 or .mov file, you need to convert it to iPod video format first. Check the guide in my sign. Lethal's guide is also great.

    Have you imported it into itunes? if so, plug your iPod in, then right click your ipod in the source menu on the left-hand side of iTunes and click 'update'.

    Then all you do is connect your iPod, right click it in the 'source' menu (once it appears) and click update :)

    Well just re-import them, and this time, consolidate your library (Advanced===>Consolidate Library)

    Then you can delete the songs in "MY DOCUMENTS AND LIKE SIX OTHER PLACES"

    You didn't need to burn it onto a DVD just to get it onto your iPod.. you couldn've just transcoded it with videora..

    What are you using to convert? Do you have 'TV out' activated?
