Deleting a video from your iPod Touch is not very apparent. Here’s how you can do it though:
1. Tap Videos to bring up the video list.

I’ve always had trouble finding a good, free application to burn my DIVX or XVID AVI files to a DVD under Windows. I have often had to bite the bullet and purchase a program such as Nero to be able to do this. Well, not anymore. I found DVD Flick. It’s a free program that burns almost any video file to a DVD. It’s friggin’ awesome! All you do is drag and drop the file to the window of the application, then click Create DVD.
You’d think that a program that is free might be a bit clunky as far as the interface. It’s totally not. It’s very smooth and responds very quickly, though the actual video crunching and burning process may take a while. It’s also filled with features, however it doesn’t yet have a feature that allows complex menu creation. Still, it’s very cool! Download it here.
