Help, oh tech-savvy ones!

I'm sure I'm doing this wrong.

I have an iPod Classic, right? Birthday present from 'rents? Yes, mildly familiar, I know.

I'm trying to add video to it. Now, the video I have is all .avi format, because until very recently I had no reason to run my video through iTunes. But now I do, and I can't figure out how to convert it to .mp4.

iTunes doesn't seem to want to do it.

All the programs I'm finding through Google either cost money (and a lot, some of them), and the free trials only convert the first 5 minutes/add a nasty watermark/etc.

Really, I'm sure I'm doing this wrong. My parents can't have spent this much money to buy me something I can't even use.

Help?

ETA Fuck, I don't have time to mess with this right now. I hate technology. Hate. Hate. Hate.

...I have no idea what happened. It's never done that to me. It removes it from the list, and if I cancel the action before it's done, I can't move or change the file until after I've rebooted, but it's never deleted it on me. D:

I have no idea. And I don't have time for this. I was hoping to load some video onto the iPod so I could hide from the family on this car trip. I don't have the energy to fuck with this right now.
