Remember that the FAT32 file system, which is needed if you want to use your iPod with Windows, does not support file sizes over 4 GB.

This means that you cannot put big user folders into a disk image. You can always put them on your iPod as a folder.

If you have a lot of stuff in your user folder and want to use a disk image (for the encryption or something), you might want to drop some or all of your Movies folder, because these tend to grow really big really fast and are often easiest to replace per MB. Or you can put them on a seperate CD/DVD for archiving.
