It's really simple to download any video on the site without an extension/program. All you have to do is look at the embed code of the video you want.
Example:
[This is episode 65 of the Persona 4 Endurance Run]
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="640" height="360" id="gb_player" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.giantbomb.com/video/video.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="flashvars" value="paramsURI=http%3A//www.giantbomb.com/video/params/546/?w=1">
<param name="videoURI" value="http://media.giantbomb.com/video/vf_persona4_65_cornhead.flv">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<embed src="http://www.giantbomb.com/video/video.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="640" height="360" name="gb_player" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="paramsURI=http%3A//www.giantbomb.com/video/params/546/?w=1" />
</object>
Just take the underlined file (http://media.giantbomb.com/video/vf_persona4_65_cornhead.flv), add a _700 at the end (before the .flv extension), and presto!
Your link should look like this http://media.giantbomb.com/video/vf_persona4_65_cornhead_700.flv
Download, and use whatever iPod converter you like (personally I use Videora iPod Convertor which is completely free).

Hopefully that helps some of you guys.
