Reading from http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginMpegplayer
"MPEGplayer is an MPEG video player viewer plugin. It is currently capable of playing back MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video streams with MPEG audio multiplexed into .mpg files (MPEG Program Stream) and raw MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video streams. To play a video file, you simply select it in the Rockbox file browser. If your file does not have the .mpg, .mpeg, .mpv or .m2v extension, you will need to use the "Open With..." context menu option and choose "mpegplayer"."
It supports MPEG-1 and 2, not 4. Try converting a video using one of the methods at http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginMpegplayer#How_To_Encode_Files

ok but now i have another problem my ipod will not go into disk mode when i plug it in so any solutions with that??
zajacattack:
You can force it into disk mode by hold menu and select to reboot it, then holding play/pause and select right away.
