the port on top that you plug headphones into has a video pin in it. You just need a cable with the 3 rca's to one mini.

two for audio one for video.

The Ipods probably don't have a video out. Probably just audio and data. I could be wrong but it may not be able to transfer the data fast enough for video.

If you have a video input and a cable that connects your Ipod to video input. Mine does with a cable I bought from Apple.
