Why can't I download a 'home video' from my iTunes library onto my iPhone (apple tv app)?

It is inconsistent but here is what appears to be happening.

1) In my iTunes Library these are classified as Home Videos.

2) When I drag them (sync) onto my iPad, they show up as Movies.

3) Then, when I launch the AppleTV app on the iPad (or iPhone) they appear again as Home Videos. (They also show up in Downloaded.)

"Home Video" is something of an odd duck. In iTunes it isn't listed in the top area drop-down that lists Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc. When "Movie" is selected, I can switch between Movie and Home Video in the left sidebar. And when I encode with (say) Handbrake I don't have a choice of this classification. I would like everything to be "Movie" but they come out as "Home Video" (which I suppose make sense because they are video and I'm creating them at home). I haven't been able to determine what property of the video file governs this code.

I like (and use) the 3 classifications (because I do have movies, home videos, and tv shows and to me they are distinct types), but I would like to see the 3 treated equally and consistently, both in iTunes and on AppleTV apps.

Thanks again for helping me get this sorted.

Thanks. That solved most of my issue. (My eyes were missing that tiny iPhone icon nearer the top!)

There is still some odd behavior between the iPhone & iTune. The videos I'm wanting to copy to the phone are typed as "Home Videos" (a kind of "Movie") in iTunes. That type doesn't show up on the iPhone, but does on the iPad.

That said, by turning on the 'sync' of the iPhone in iTunes (using that little icon), I am now able to drag/drop the videos from iTunes (where they are Home Videos) onto my iPhone (where they are presented as "Movie" types). It's a bit confusing but, hey, at least it gets the job done.

Much appreciated!

Yes, thanks. I do that more than like. I have hundreds (thousands?) of videos typed as 'Movie'. Fortunately, that's the type assigned by all encoders except for Handbrake. I reserve 'Home Video' for the few I want to copy to my iPad or iPhone.
