Converting Video files to use on an iPod

Ok guys, so I bought a new iPod, with the video feature, the only problem is that it will only play QuickTime and MPEG-4 movie files that end in ".mov", ".m4v", or ".mp4" and are playable in QuickTime Player.

Here is what they say about converting stuff to use with an iPod...

Videos that were not purchased from the iTunes Music Store are typically not in a format that is playable on the iPod, but in many cases, they can be converted to the correct format using QuickTime 7 Pro. To find out how to convert a movie to one of these formats, see the Creating Video for iPod tutorial, then add the converted video to your iTunes Library. If you're using a Mac with QuickTime 7.0.3 or later installed, you can use iMovie and other applications to export a movie to a format supported by the iPod and then add it your iTunes Library. Click here for an iMovie HD tutorial.


So does anyone have a suggestion on how to get these to work without spending the money to upgrade to the Quicktime Pro? Just looking to save the $30.

Thanks in advance
-Tim

Don't just start encoding all your old VHS to DVD, check to see if there is a better source out there.
