Morphology
The meaning 'an iPod that can play video files' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'video' (moving-image media) with 'iPod' (a portable media player). This noun–noun compound follows a common, compositional pattern found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The compound video iPod comes from Apple putting a screen into the music iPod so it could play video while you travel. So, it means a small portable 'iPod' that can play 'videos'.
