I find that Instant Handbrake makes files that work with iPod every time, along with being easier to use.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Ack! My internets are letting me down this weekend - when I connect wirelessly, I keep getting either no connection or connected with "limited or no connectivity". Any thoughts on what might be happening?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Anyone have any helpful suggestions?
Open it in Quicktime and then "Export to iPod"
(I don't think you need QT Pro for this.)

The "Export" option is greyed out in my copy of Quicktime, so it looks like I would need the Pro version to do that.
I'll give Instant Handbrake a try today. I could have sworn I had the resolution for the video set to the proper size for the iPod, but I'm not certain.
Thanks for the help, gang!

The new iPods will actually use 640x480 files even though the screen doesn't support them. When they are displayed on a larger display it makes a big difference.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Jilli, if the video will play in iTunes, see if you have a "convert to iPod format" option under the Advanced menu.

amych, you are a genius! It worked! My shiny black iPod (which I named Renfield) is now playing the video for "Bela Lugosi's Dead". Excuse me while I cackle with glee.

Further Adventures with the Video iPod: Instant Handbrake does indeed create iPod ready videos. Still takes forever, but that's fine.
