I would take the video to DVD with DVD FLICK. Next I'd pass it off to HANDBRAKE to get it from said DVD to files iTunes likes. Then I'd sync my pod.

Do you have any recommendations as to software I can download to convert TV programs to ipod nano 4G? I have the component kit with cable and power adapter for the ipod.
