Videora iPod [video] converter
Hat tip to Brent for pointing out this handy iPod video converter. While Quicktime Pro [cough] works for converting videos into a compatible format for the iPod Video, the pricetag alone may dissuade users. Videora is an alternative option for Windows users seeking a free video converter.

Videora iPod Converter is a free video conversion application developed by the creators of Videora. It allows you to convert your regular PC video files (avi, mpeg, etc) into the proper video format that your iPod understands.
