iPod nano video help, please!?

I have an ipod nano second generation and I heard that you can put videos on it. So , I bought the video and it's all loaded on iTunes, and I synced my iPod and can't find it on there. Help me, please!

Update:

Thank you all for answering my question. Believe it or not, I haven't wasted my money because I can still watch the video on iTunes. I just can't put it on my iPod and watch it on a plane. (That was in reference to one of the answers to this question!) I'm not sure how I'll pick a best answer, but I'll come up with something.

    You need to download iPod linux. It is really hard and doesn't always work. You cannot and unfortunately you can't return the video to iTunes.

    There is no way to put videos on any iPods except the iPod 5th gen and the improved 5th gen (5.5 gen) You can put videos on the 1st gen iPod Nano (the ones that are like the iPod video, silver backing and black or white only front) using RockBox. 2nd gen iPod Nanos are NOT supported.

    I have a ipod video and I find it usefull on a plane because even I do not listen to music for 12 hours! The video function is very good too.

    the nano is smaller and, as you noted, very beautiful. it is likewise flash based, that would make it slightly greater solid as there is not any perplexing tension to placed on out (no shifting areas). even although, basically as in the older ipod mini, you pay so lots greater $ consistent with gb; even with the reality that the video function isn't all that functional, you will spend much less time futzing along with your library (instruction manual updates, and so on) with the bigger capacity of the 30 gig. How enormous is your library?... considering the incontrovertible fact that greater suitable 24 gig is ineffective in case you dont like it. I even have 60gb video, yet i gotta inform you- the assumption of "sporting around your dvd library" and connecting it to a larger computer screen is crap, commonly using fact the low res ipod video format looks like crap while considered on a "known" length demonstrate screen. p.s there's a 6gb nano in the works, if not already on the industry; it incredibly relies upon on what you want to do with it, and for the money i think of the 30gb video is a much better value (even with the reality that larger and heavier).

    You can't put videos on the ipod nano, you need an ipod video for that.

    This site offers a free iPod video! It sounds like a scam but it really isn't, I got mine in the mail the other day. Just thought I'd share it with you :)

    you can put videos on a nano but its a hack and its frowned on by everyone at apple...you need to run linux on your computer first off...a nano aint originally programed to play videos mainly cuz of that small..small screen....linux nano hack....
