Movie won't sync to ipod nano because it "cannot be played on this ipod"

I got a movie via digital copy and it is HD, I kept it in the cloud since I didn't have time to download it, later I uncheked the box that says download in HD when available and downloaded the movie, but it is still in HD and won't sync because it is not playble on this device, said device is a 3rd gen (2008) iPod nano. Is there a way to downscale or resize the movie to fit on my ipod?

iPod nano, 2008

iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1497 - incompatible format for devices.


I don't know if this applies to digital downloads too:

iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3209 - "When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page." Other details about which formats are downloaded and when. To download as SD uncheck "Download HD when available"
