iPod how do i put film files onto my ipod nano

[spoon man]

I have come across some films ( robocop,matrix,friday )on my external hard-drive which I forgot where there so I thought I would put them on my ipod to pass the time at work but when I try to import them nothing happens how do I get I tunes to recognise the files and sync to my ipod ?

What's the format of your files?

There's really no such thing as "standard" Quicktime anymore. There are several variations thereof. Try opening it in Quicktime then export as an H.264 file at a smaller resolution.
