You need to encode files with the correct resolution:

how do you do that.. i went to the link but and read about encoding, but how

So you read the "How To Encode Files" section?  There are instructions there for a variety of programs.  Which program are you trying to use, and which step trips you up?

What steps did you take to convert into the proper format for Rockbox?

ok i downloaded winff, i converted my file into ipod 4,3 , when i put it on my device(ipod nano) it gave me no video, and turns out there is no audio either

In WinFF, are you sure you used the correct preset?  There are a few sets of "Ipod" presets, including "XviD for Ipod", "H.264 for Ipod *Linux*", and "RB Apple iPod".  You need to use the "RB" ones.  The converted file should have a ".mpg" file extension.

Also make sure that the converted file plays properly on your computer - it's possible WinFF just couldn't convert it properly.
