iPod video question

[tonypaladino]

I had an iRiver MP3 player I bought exactly 3 weeks ago that I hated (I posted a thread when I first got it about how much I loved it, then how much I hated it)

I exhanged it yesterday for a 60 GB iPod Video. So here is the question-- how the hell do I get videos on it. I was under the impression that I could load my avi or mpeg files onto it, but iTunes will not import these.

Did I spend an extra $100 for a video player that only plays $2 music videos from apple? If so I am very pissed off.
