oh it should be easy on OSX.
BUT ... for iTunes & iPod you must have either mpeg 4 or H.264 files which are a type of mpg4 file.
If you need to convert videos to be usable by iTunes or iPod, on the mac it's rather easy if you have QuickTime Pro or iMovie I think it is. Another Free alternative is Apple - Downloads - iPod + iTunes - iSquint

I am not sure about drag & drop from LW in OSX. What I do is open the download folder & drag & drop from there if the video did not auto import. ie: Go to Library window, select your download folder (Saved or Shared) & press Explore button. Then I drag & drop onto the Library icon above the Playists at top left side of iTunes.

If the video files are not mpeg 4 then you will need to convert them first.
(on OSX mpeg 1, mpeg 2 & mpeg 4 can all have the same extension = .mpg or .mpeg ... or may even have a mp4 extension but so do windows audio files that are equivalent to m4a files ... the icon will tell you hopefully if it's video.)
