Putting videos on your iPod with Linux

Seven months ago Apple released the iPod Video. Now linux support for transferring videos to it is beginning to arrive.

The first part is getting your videos into a form the iPod can play. You can find instructions on how to do this here. Now you need to transfer these videos to your iPod. The CVS version of GtkPod has support for this (and possibly some of the more recent released versions). Unfortunately the latest packages of GtkPod in Debian Unstable don't support this. I have hacked together (and I mean hacked, I am no packager) some debs of the cvs version of GtkPod. You can find them here.
