Having trouble syncing videos to ipod touch?

I can't sync any of my videos (which are in mp4 format) to my ipod touch. I even transferred a digital copy of X-Men Origins from the DVD to my iTunes and that video still won't go over to the ipod. Is there something you have to do to be able to drag the video to the iPod? I'm at a complete loss and a little frustrated that I can't put my videos on my iPod.

Update:

I've tried dragging the video to the ipod icon but I get a little red circle with a line through it and it wont let me sync it

    As I know, not all MP4 video files can be supported by iPod, you need convert all kinds of video to "special MP4" for iPod. IPod supports these formats: iPod MOV MPEG4, iPod MPEG4 and iPod AVC H.264.

    More about how to transfer your video to your iPod touch, here is a step by step guide for you, it's easy to understand and works pretty well for me.

    Hope this will help you. Good luck!

    Not all iTunes video can be transferred to iPod, please make sure your video is compatible with iPod. If the video resolution or video bitrate beyond iPod limitation, even though they are mp4 video, you can't upload them to iPod. For example, some iTunes purchased movie are High definition movie, the resolution is too high to play on iPod, you can't sync it to your iPod. For more information about iPod compatible video, you can visit apple official website.

    The best way (and easiest way) to copy something to the ipod is by:

    1 - Clicking your ipod under the devices tab on itunes

    2 - Dragging a video(mp4) or a music(mp3) file to the ipod icon itself (under the devices tab)

    Source(s): Experience (have an ipod touch myself)
