MacWorld UK reported this week that Apple sold 1 million videos via the iTunes Music Store in just 19 days. This got me thinking: What video content do you all have on your iPods? Are you snapping up episodes of Lost or That's So Raven (you know who you are)? Are music videos your thing, home movies or files you've grabbed via torrent (all legal, of course)? Also, how attractive a feature is video for you? I can remember when I first heard the rumors of a video capable iPod, I wasn't overly thrilled. Today, however, I'm definitely eager to try it out. Drop us a line in the comments.

I've put on all of Arrested Development Season 2 as well as the three Wallace and Gromit short films, all using DVDs I own and Handbrake. I also bought 2 pixar shorts, just to see how the downloads were, and downloaded a bunch of movie trailers from iTMS using the trick from UNEASYsilence.

Frederator. Lots of 50s & 60s commercials, industrial films. Archive.org stuff. Plus Fatboy Slim; it's the law.

Zoolander and The Three Amigos.
I'm a campus rep and we demo the iPod on my schools campus by running Zoolander. I will say that the best part of video playback to me is less that I can watch the video on the iPod, but more that I can take my entire DVD collection with me when I travel and connect to almost any tv and watch anything I want. Now if it could only record video...

-Monty Python and the Holy Grail;
-Return of the King Extended Edition (both discs)
-3 Music videos I already had and have worked by themselves.
Most of it is video podcasts:
-Of course TUAW
-Diggnation (only latest episodes work)
-MacTV (iPod Edition)
Check this one out. They've got 68 videos as of my count, all Apple ads and Apple related movies. Good stuff.
-Frederator
-Various other vodcasts I haven't watched yet: DigitalLife TV, Photoshop TV...

Lots of 'Celebrity Jeopardy' from SNL, a few MadTV skits, some football highlight reels (Barry Sanders, bloopers, etc), triumph the insult comic dog, MadTV podcast and a few music videos so far.
BTW, Podner is the best proggy I've found for making iPod-ready video...it works better than FFMpegX and MovieToGo for me...
