It depends what format they're encoded in. iTunes will let you drop movies and such into your library and synchronise them with the device, but only if they're in a format the device can play (unsurprisingly). So you'll need to transcode them if they're not already in a suitable encoding.

I use Handbrake which is a free open-source application that runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. If you want it to grab stuff from protected DVDs (which is pretty much all commercial ones) you'll need to install VLC (also free and cross-platform) too.

I've also had good results with MPEG Streamclip (free, Mac and Windows) although that actually solves a slightly different set of problems. (Determining what they are is left as an exercise for the reader.) Handbrake will probably be all you need, and includes things like optimised settings specifically for iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad.

I've copied films to my iPod Touch using iTunes without a problem. I had to use Handbrake to change the compression algorithm for some of them though. Forget what format I changed them to, 'Apple' is an output option in Handbrake IIRC.

Can't get any of them on there as I can't add them to iNazi. I can only add progs that I have purchased through iNazi (funny that I can add music acquired from other sources though). Is there any way of sychronising the device without iNazi? Like just copy the files over like you would with an external hard s
drive?

I'm guessing the problem is that I'm on Windows and device is formatted for MAC or something.

It could just be that you're thick.
