There are almost all common iPod video formats available for you to choose to convert to. Here I set the output format to 'iPod Video2(640*480) MPEG4 Normal Video (*.mp4)' and the audio codec as default. Remember that the output file size mostly depends on the Bitrate you set. Larger Bitrate, larger file size.
