What you will need to do is rip the DVD (or selected tracks) to
another format, AVI, WMV, etc. And then from there convert those
formats to the iPod video format (m4V IIRC). Once in m4v then that can
be imported into iTunes and synced with the iPod.

I don't have any specific software recomendations, since I don't have
a video iPod
