well, your own videos could just be encoded wrong, but if it happens on youtube a lot ...
what week is your ipod touch? (Settings->General->About->The 4th and 5th digit in your serial number).
I think I recall someone saying that ipods with weeks before 40 were sometimes faulty and that green videos were a problem with them.

does it happen very rarely at youtube or does it happen often?

It happens almost everyday and I bought a video from Itunes and the whole movie was green. I just looked and I do have a 3 year warranty I bought with the ipod so I think I may take it back. Also I have week 45.

strange thing, but if it happens a lot its most likely a faulty ipod, since it shouldn't happen. you can try doing a restore via itunes, maybe this helps.
I heard of some people having this problem because of a certain movie/clip the put on their iPod. maybe remove the movies from it and play a youtube video and see if it still occurs.
but in the end, you can always take it back and get a replacement or your money back, since it shouldn't happen.

I rented a move from iTunes and it plays with a green screen too. Also the movies I had ripped fomr DVD's so I could move to the iphone now all play in green screen although they used to play fine.
