As far as I'm aware there isn't a way to play movies on iPods other than the 5G models that support video playback.

You could export frames from a movie and then import those as photos and then flick through them using the click wheel, but it's not an automated process as the slideshow feature of the iPod has a minimum 2 second delay in slideshow mode, plus of course there would be no audio.

It's possible it might support animated GIF/JPEG/PNG files, in which case you could possibly create a movie in that way, but I don't think that would be feasible, even if it were possible.

You could always try and install linux on it.

Much info here:
