Hi,

the mpegplayer is a viewer plugin, so you select the file you want to play, not the plugin.
Read this page for information how to encode the videos properly for your player:

Read the page PauJam has posted, if it's too much hassle for you to read it then I don't see why anyone should waste his spare time answering your questions!

Unless you put the mpeg file on the player you won't be able to view it.

It doesn't matter where you put it. Simply copy the mpeg to some folder on your player. Then navigate to this folder by selecting "Files" from the Main Menu, select the file and it should play.

However it won't play properly (or not at all) unless you converted it to the right size and format. The wiki page mentioned earlier has lots of information concerning the conversion of videos for your ipod.
