Hi,
The iPod has quite specific requirements for video, so I wouldn't try to encode the video in VLC. I would recommend you download ffmpegX (a shareware video converter), which has a preset setting to convert to iPod video. Then just load it into iTunes and sync it with your iPod.

Look at http://homepage.mac.com/major4/ for the download.

Also have a look at the iPod Wiki page which has a guide for converting videos to iPod compatible MP4 files:
