Click the Browse button and navigate to the folder you would like to store the new file in after conversion (the file which will be transferred to your iPod)...then click OK. Watch as your movie file is automatically converted to iPod video format (see image below).

Open iTunes and select File > Import... from the main menu. Navigate to the folder where your newly converted file was saved and click Open.

Now, connect your iPod to your computer and iTunes will automatically transfer your new video file to your iPod. If your iPod was already connected, right click on your iPod in the Source list and choose Update.

You will find your movie by selecting the Videos menu on your iPod and then selecting Movies.
