You'd have to use quicktime. That's apple's "Answer".
I am not so sure. Take a look at:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/creatingvideo.html
It does not say that QuickTime Pro is required. If you look at the
bottom of the page the video formats that the iPod supports are
listed. I thought we have the tools to put video into mp4 already.
But if you notice, the page you linked to is a tutorial designed for
QuickTime 7 Pro. It doesn't say whether the required
features/encoders exist in the non-Pro version.

You need Pro.
Why do you believe this? I said nothing of what kind or platform of
tools. Are there not tools on the Linux platform to perform the video
transcode from say MPEG2 to MPEG4 for use on the iPod? I would guess
there is something that would do the job besides the $30 upgrade for
QuickTime. It would appear from a quick glance at the Changelog for
FFmpeg that it would do the job. Also this link gives me the impression
that FFmpeg supports formats that would be compatible with the iPod:
http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/ffmpeg-doc.html#TOC16
And if you want a GUI, check out:
http://homepage.mac.com/major4/
Please note that I not tried either of these tools nor do I have an iPod
Video to play with, but they would appear at quick glance to be a start.
I think you guys are arguing two different points. Some are saying that
if using QuickTime, you need QuickTime Pro because the non-Pro version
doesn't have the appropriate video encoding tools. Others are saying
that you don't need either QuickTime or QuickTime Pro because
open-source software is da bomb... (And some are saying you can use
non-free programs like freeware or applications from vendors other than
Apple.)
You're all right, alright?
Mike
