So, on the thread at finally getting an iPod - what features do *you* use? Rose asked about which iPod features you use. I have a slightly different question - which model should I buy if I decide to take the plunge?

I think I want a video-capable iPod. Not to watch big-studio Hollywood movies, but to either put on my own homemade belly dance video footage, or to put belly dance videos on.

Here are my questions:

Which models of iPod can play video? Can the Nano? Can the touchscreen? I know the 80-gigabyte model can.
Which models of iPod can you put a flash memory card into? Is it feasible to play back a movie from a flash memory card? Which model of flash memory does an iPod take - SD or something else?
I've heard iPods don't import a DVD's menuing system, just its individual files of video footage. What are playlists like? Can they mimic what a DVD can do? Can you nest a playlist within a playlist?
What file formats can you put onto a video iPod? Will MPEG2 work?
Do YOU use your iPod to watch video?
