According to the specifications, the resolution of the video can be 640 by 480 pixels (30 frames per second H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps)

Of course, this is scaled down 480-by-320-pixel resolution (i.e. the resolution of the screen).

Other resolution supported

H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

H.264 is a type of codec. mp4 is the file extension. So, H.264 encoded file can be in the following file extension: avi, mp4, or mkv.

If the original file is 640 x 480 pixles, iPod touch will scale it down to 480 x 320 format. Basically, ensure the video format is scalable to 480 x 320.
