I am looking to see if it is possible to convert video formats on the Mac to put onto the Ipod.

I did a google search and found iSkysoft Video Converter. Is this program any good?

When ripping a DVD for my iPod, I use Handbrake, which is still around, and for converting vids from places like YouTube, I use VisualHub, which unfortunately is no longer available (legally, that is), however, another group appears to be working on its predecessor, although I have little to no knowledge about it :)
 
I use VisualHub for everything.

I like the "drag n' drop" interface. I might have a whole load of TV shows that I want to encode with the same setting, and with VisualHub it is just as easy as one (drag then drop) two (select settings) three (press start).

HandBrake - to do that it isn't as quick to drag n drop.

I find I get better quality in VisualHub (HandBrake makes the H.264 encodes come out grainy sometimes) and the audio is always in sync.
 
You can just use Quicktime Pro with the Perian plugin to convert video files for the iPod.
 
I use HandBrake. Awesome video converting app for OS X. Pretty much converts anything to the format you need.
