KSDD:Articles:Getting Video into the iPod Video.
I’ve been using Videola for a while and some of the videos won’t playback at all on my iPod. I suspect, I’m exceeding the maximum bitrate or other limits. I’ve been using the very compact .mp4 format with h.264. The limits are below:

# File formats: .m4v, .mp4 or .mov
# Video data rate: 768 Kbps
# Profile: Baseline
# Frame size: 320 x 240
# Frame rate: 30 frames per sec.
# Audio data rate: 160 Kbps
# Audio sample rate: 48 Khz stereo

There is also the MPEG-4 format:

# File formats: .m4v, .mp4 or .mov
# Video data rate: 2.5 mbps
# Profile: Simple
# Frame size: 480 x 480
# Frame rate: 30 frames per sec.
# Audio format: AAC-LC
# Audio data rate: 160 Kbps
# Audio sample rate: 48 Khz stereo
