such as videos you create in iMovie on a Mac, or videos you download from the
Internet and then add to iTunes.

play on iPod touch, you can convert the video.

delete the video from your iTunes library. It may reappear on iPod touch if the video
in iTunes is still set to sync.

Important:

If you delete a rented movie or TV show from iPod touch, it’s deleted

permanently and cannot be transferred back to your computer.
