Rockbox isn't Linux. Please read the manual and the PluginMpegplayer page. And please read the manual THOROUGHLY before posting again.

I know Rockbox isnt linux but i've tried it and it never works

What did you do to convert your videos, and what happens, exactly, when you try playing them?

I mean when I try the installer about halfway through the process it says
"installer exe has encountered a problem and needs to close"

That doesn't sound like a Rockbox message. What installer are you talking about?

linux

And now to answer your questions:

i have a fourth generation U2 ipod grayscale and im wondering if the Mpeg player will work?

Yes, it will work, but I have no idea how fast. Could you do a speed test and add the results to this table?

No, as far as I know rockbox and ipodlinux are the only alternative firmwares for ipods.
