New to the World of Movies on the Itouch

Hello,

I used Handbrake to convert movies to play in itunes ( that I own ). They appear in the Movies section of itunes. But my problem is that they do not appear in my itouch movie section and I seem to have no way to get them in that area. I am very new to this and could not locate help on this topic. I wish to play movies on my itouch and honestly have no idea how to get them onto the itouch.

Thanks

Jon Seff

Did you use the iPhone / iPod touch preset? You can encode movies with HandBrake that iTunes can play, but that the touch can't. Assuming you've encoded the movies so they'll work on the touch, you should see them under the Videos tab of iTunes when you've connected your iPod.

Oh ok so I have to encode them for the itouch. Now I find this out after I encode 22 disney movies for my daughter. Back to the old drawing board.

Thanks
