Purchased TV Shows wont play

Ok so I got this Ipod touch from my sister it works fine except for one thing the tv shows I purchased from iTunes will not play. Whenever I select one to watch I get this error message "This movie format is not supported." Does anyone know why I get this message and if they do how can I fix it.

iPod touch, Windows XP

Did you download it directly to the iPod?

Sync from iTunes?

What model iPod do you have? On the 4G and later can play HD videos

Maybe:

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

iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos

Do they play in iTunes?

Try deleting them and redownloading them by:

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
