Cannot by played on this iPod...why?

Running a 160 GB iPod Classic, bought in 2010, software v 2.0.4. When downloading videos from iTunesU, some videos are able to be copied to my iPod, some aren't, I don't understand why this is. I can't see any difference between the videos that copy and those that don't. All videos play just fine when played in ITunes on the computer.

BTW, I don't 'Synch' music or anything between the computer and the iPod. I prefer to download individual things and install them myself.

Thanks for any help,

Greg

Sounds like you are trying to sync the HD version of the TV Episode. You should try to download the Standard Definition copy instead and sync that to your device as HD content is not compatible with the iPod Classic. See here for more information:

iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

Use Handbreak to format it for iPod.
