If you're watching video, 4 hours seems more plausible, but not for music.
If you turn the brightness down on the iPod when watching video you also get quite a bit more viewing time. I've gone LAX-AMS (not as far as LAX-CDG :) ) and got a good 4-5 hours of video plus audio for the balance of the time. But as soon as they dim the cabin lights I reduce the iPod to minimum brightness.

I also use an iGo Xtender for that extra power needed on my iPod, eBook reader, cell phone, etc. If you already use iGo (i.e. have the tips) its fairly inexpensive.
