Here's my problem:
Have and ibook g3 with no dvd drive and i have a ipod video so i rip dvds on my pc and transfer them on my flash drive. but after i import the mp4 files to itunes they wont sync therefore are not able to play on my ipod. i see that the files that do work on the ipod (shows i've bought on itunes) are in m4v format but none of the programs i have convert to that. I used dvd mobile by slysoft on the pc and handbrake on the mac. The programs only output to mp4. Am I doing something wrong?

Sounds like you are doing everything right. Have tried setting videos to manually update and simply dragging and dropping within iTunes? Have you tried using iTunes to convert the files you have (MP4) to work with the iPod.
Are the vids in question movies or TV shows?
MP4 will work fine btw.
