iPad video failing to appear

I recently put about 12 full movies on my iPad. Some were digital copies from purchased DVDs and some were created using Clone DVD. I went on vacation and all of them played perfectly.

When I came back I synced my iPad and all the videos disappeared. I selected the option on the Movies tab to "Sync Movies" and "Automatically Include All Movies" and immediately transferred all movies back to my iPad. Now when I go to the Videos app on my iPad the videos do not show up. They show up in iTunes as being physically on the iPad. When I look at the "About" section in General settings, I see 17 total videos (some extra kids tv shows were downloaded) and the total video space used is 20.41 GB.

From everything I can tell the videos are physically on the iPad, but they will not show up even though they were there and played perfectly before. HELP! Where the heck are my videos? And why won't they show up?

Thank You.

I have had this since iTunes 10. Videos are there, I synch, and they are gone although iTunes sees them. I have re-synched mult times, I have done complete reboots to factory settings (that worked 1 out of 3 attempts).

VERY frustrating. It takes so long to get info synched, it is a hopeless feeling to hit "video" on my iPad and see nothing there.....

I know that there is a solution somewhat in constantly re-syncing my iPad, but I just think that it's a little bit ridiculous that every time I purchase a video-from iTunes and directly on my iPad-it blocks me from viewing any other videos that I had already purchased (again, from iTunes, directly onto my iPad). Can someone at apple please figure out a way to fix this so that I don't have to waste my time re-syncing?!? I'm buying my videos from you-let me watch them!
