I convert my movies using handbrake with mp4 setting. I don't know what nitrate to use or size. Is there a better program than handbrake?

Always read your post twice when you're on an iPod
Drag the .mp4 files to iTunes, and then if they don't sync right, proceed to control (right) click the movie in iTunes and select "Convert to iPod" in the contextual menu.
i've found http://www.formatoz.com/ format factory to be an exceptional program for converting video for ipod/phone and psp among other things.
have fun
For Handbrake:
If you're patient, I usually go with a bitrate of 1000 and 2 pass encoding. I encoded a 2 hr movie at about 1.4 gb in about 3-4 hours. Really good quality and lower file size
If you want something quick, I just use the "Constant Quality" slider and put it at 63.24%. It's just as good as the method mentioned above but the file size is a little bigger. Same movie with this method usually takes 1 1/2 hours so it's much faster.
