Movie Not Showing Up on Ipod Touch

Hi- I yesterday purchased a movie on Itunes and downloaded it to my PC. I then synced my Ipod touch and while I can see that the movie has indeed been copied to the Ipod by double clicking the ipod icon on the computer and looking under movies, when I open the video section of the Ipod, it's not there nor is it anywhere else. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! (Also my free space on my Ipod has decreased by exactly the size of the movie download)

PC, Windows XP Pro

I've got the exact same issue....does anyone happen to know the resolution. I can definitely tell the movie synched to the itouch (from the left hand panel in iTunes), but I can't find it on my itouch.

After Hours of hard work, i have a solution (sorry if its not the one your looking for)
1. Connect your itouch to the computer
2. Go to devices on the right of the screen and select you ipod touch
3. At the top, click "Movies" (you should be on summary)
4. Checkmark the "Sync Movies" at the top of the screen
5. Checkmark your movie(s)
6. THen to right of you itouch memory bar select approve (the secont option)
7. Then you might have to sync your itouch if it doesnt do it for you.

I am having this same issue and have tried everything KoleMarjakaj has recommended. It can be seen on my list of synched videos and it is showing as a movie on the iPod in iTunes. However, it can not be seen on my 3rd generation touch. Oddly it can be seen on my daughter's 4th generation touch that is synched using the exact same computer.

Piece of background here. The latest iPod software level was downloading (only) while I was first synching this movie (Harry Potter Deathly Hallows, Part 1). I noticed that the sync process restarted a few times while the update was downloading. This did not happen while I was synching my daughter's touch.

Thank you.

Well, my issue is resolved! After posting my message I went back and looked at the movies I had synched and realized it was more than the ones I thought! It was all movies above PG! Apparently the restricted videos won't even show! I thought they would prompt for a password, I'll have to figure that out next...but I changed the settings and lo and behold they are now there!
