There needs to be a "Category" folder between "Titles" and your own title's folder.
Motion Templates>Titles>My Awesome Titles>(your title folder)
In this example, a category "My Awesome Titles" will appear in FCP X and your title will appear in it.
Of course, you can name it anything you like, and you can create as many categories as you want.

A title would usually be created in Motion and have at least a text field...
If it is to appear as a title in FCP X, make it a title in Motion.
If it is just a video that you want to use in FCP X, no need to go through Motion. As Tom said, just import the video into FCP X.
If you are in fact creating a title and a video is to be part of it, fine, make a title in Motion, import the video, set everything as you like it, and it will be accessible from FCP X.
"mpeg" does not say much. If this is a video file that plays in Quicktime Player (or FCP X) it should play in Motion as well.
EDIT: It seems that this is/these are video(s) that you already have in FCP X. My suggestion then is to create a specific library - say, "Intros". Whenever you want to use one of those, drag it directly to the timeline. If the videos are stored outside the library ("external media") this will not cause the files to be copied, so you won't be wasting disk space.
Your video isn’t in a Motion project form. Just import the video into your library and use it in your project.
Ahh okay so it has to be motion project form. format in order for fcp to recognise it in the titles drop down? is there a way to add mpeg to the titles dropdown or to convert the file? Just trying to clean up my library and organise everything nicely, all my intros, outros etc are everywhere it would be nice to have them all in the titles dropdown.
Oh... video. I missed that.
So... what Tom said.
