Downloading movies for free is great, but playing them on your iPod can be a whole other issue.
In order to play movies and videos on your iPod you need to convert the files in to an iPod compatible format. This might sound
complicated but it can actually be made very easy.
I have located for you some *completely free* software tools that convert movies and video files in to iPod ready formats automatically.
During my research I found software that does the same but costs $29.99 and up!
First, if you are still lacking in movies or videos to convert here's the links for the two best movie & video download resources:

formats, but unfortunately 9 times out of 10 they are not compatible with your iPod.
These movies files need to be changed in resolution (image size) and their video codec needs to changed to what's called mpeg4. Mpeg4 files have the file extension .mp4 and they are readable by your iPod.
If that all sounds like mumbo jumbo, not to worry. With this new completely free software I've found all you need to do is point and click - it really is that easy!
Head over to these links to download the iPod video converter software for your system:
