    The Problem you having is a resolution problem, depends on how and what program you use to encode the video, 5gen ipod videos are very known they could not display videos encoded for the 6 gen ipod classic, again depends on where did you get the videos in particular, you have 2 options, if got your videos from itunes store, then you have no choice but to watch it on your computer, itunes use to have a feature that let you convert videos to play on your ipod, not anymore, it now only have a apple tv option, you can try it, your other option if you didnt get this files from itunes store, you can use videora or handbreak to convert those files to the correct format your ipod will understand, when you first install videora it will ask what kind of ipod you have, and will automatically load, a convention profile for that particular ipod, handbreak has an option in the main screen to add 5gen ipod video support, this mean the video will be converted so that older ipods will be able to play this video, look at the image bellow. Good Luck.
