Ok, its been a common question and being a tutorial ninja, will kill off this question with ninjitsu (refer to About us page).

Anyways, many have asked me how to do this simple yet useful trick, so now is my chance to shine or show it off. What ever you like me to say best. Right? Eh, just some midnight humor?!

So first, lets navigate to video.google.com!

1. Find yourself a video! (For our purposes, we choose the great “family guy - peter is fat” clip/video.
2. Now, some files are protected from download. Well, doesn’t that suck? Just find an alternative source or possibly rip the video (not recommended to rip, but possible!). So right now we are going to DOWNLOAD the video, if we are allowed to. To do this look at the far right of the video. You will see the author, and possibly some keyword tags. Under these you will see a Download button with a drop down box with two options. Select “Video iPod / Sony PSP”. Click Download!
   
3. Save the file to your desired location. Most often it will automatically open the download, if it does not right click “this link” and select “Save Target As…”.
4. Once saved to your desired location, if not already connect your iPod Video to your computer and view it in iTunes. Simply drag and drop the video file from the location you saved, as if you were adding music to your iPod. Note: Since this is a video you should drop it in the Videos section of your iPod! Common sense people!

So there you have it! Saving videos on Google and getting them onto your iPod Video! Easy? I thought so!

Now don’t waste your money on hilarious clips found on iTunes, because chances are they are on Google video too!

(Note to reader: The quality of the videos downloaded off of Google is undefined. Meaning I have not put a video from Google onto my iPod, yet.)
