How to move a rented movie from PC to ipad

I am travelling on a plane this Friday with my children. I have just gone onto my PC, gone into my iTunes library and downloaded 4 films - I bought two and rented two. I synced my ipad. I went into the Videos app on my ipad and can see the two films that I have bought, but not the two that I have rented.

I have checked my account and can see that payment has been taken for all four films. If I go into my iTunes library on my pc (not my ipad), and then gone into movies, I can see the two other films in the 'rented' tab. So I just don't understand how to get them across to my ipad. There is no 'move' button or tab as a few others have suggested.

Help!!!

Thanks Rachel

Select the movie, and then click Move.

After all movies have been moved, click Apply in the lower-right corner of iTunes.

If you connect your iPad to your computer and select it on your computer's iTunes, then on its Movies tab (the same tab that you use for syncing bought films) do the rentals not show ?

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1390 :
