I'll try and get to this for tonight. I do not currently have a movie file to test it with here.
Edit: Just by looking at the steps, I see them choosing MPEG-4, which I believe uses a mp4 file extension, which does not lpay on the device. However, I see in the tutorial that H.264 video is an option, and those do play. So I'll try and convert a clip tonight using h264 and see how it runs. I was able to get an mp4 to play by simply changing the extension to mpg and of course lost audio, but video played fine.

If you've got a copy of QuickTime Pro for Mac or Win/XP, you can open several different video formats (e.g., AVI, MPEG1-2) and save your existing video clips as MPEG clips using various codecs (H.264, MPG4).
At US$29, its a very cheap solution that works well too.
Hope that helps.

How can i create spec compliant MP4 files?
easy answer: have a look at Doom9's MP4 Guide or Nero Recode2 Guide
for the detailed answer, go to this MP4 FAQ
there is a lot of free solutions
more precisely, on linux you can encode mp4 with mencoder (tutorial here)

Thanks for that link, but oy! I think I'll use a 5G iPod for video.
Wake me up again when someone has done a drag-and-drop or point-and-lick automatic solution. Command lines are like soooo DOS.
