What tools are you using to encode your video? Are you using a resolution less than 720x for MPEG4 (simple profile)? What extension are you using? Do your videos work in iTunes and not on the iTouch?
A lot of people try to bring over .avi (which is usually xvid or divx ) which is not supported by iTunes, even if it has an .MP4 extension.
If you're videos are sourced from the sharing sites they're most likely to be <720x pixels wide, Xvid with either MP3 or AC3 audio and the .avi extension. These will never work with an itouch without re-encoding.
You can find out exactly what kind of file you have by running it through the excellent Mediainfo, which can be downloaded from Videohelp.com

Run one of your troublesome files through that and we'll soon get to the bottom of the problem
