What file format do DVDs need to be converted to in order to work on a 3rd generation iPod nano?

I have a 3rd generation iPod nano. I ripped a couple of DVDs to my computer and put them in iTunes and synced them to my iPod (and my mom's iPod touch and my sister's video iPod). They worked on my mom's and my sister's iPods but they aren't working on mine. I'm thinking I might have the wrong file format. What file format do I need?

1. MP4
2. You can get plenty of free converters online that convert files into M-Peg 4s (MP4). Then you right click on the icon of the video, mouse over open-with, and click iTunes.
3. I think Tipard DVD Ripper is a good choice. I download it here: http://www.tipard.com/dvd-ripper.html I also want to share you the instructions I usually followed. Step 0: Install and run it. Step 1: Click “Load DVD” button to load your DVD. Step 2: Select the output video format you want from the “Profile” drop-down list. Step 3: Select the output destination. Step 4: Click the "Convert" button to start your conversion. This tool has fast conversion speed and good sound/image quality. Some other functions such as "Snapshot", "Crop", "Effect", "Trim", "Merge" are also availabel but I seldomly use them. You can check it out. Hope it can help you.
