the answer to my own question is, downloaded the free app from iTunes "free mp4 converter" and run that with the preset for iPod and just dragged the converted films into the movies folder of my device.

The screenshot only shows one movie (not "movies"). Are you saying there should be more movies listed there? Or is this the ONE movie you want to sync, and it does not?

If it's the later, show this movie in your iTunes Movies library. Do a right-click Get Info on it, to show its Info window. Go to the File tab and find dimensions. What does it say there? That's the screen resolution of this video. The maximum resolution supported on the small screen of iPod classic is 640x480, so if that movie has a higher resolution (for either number), it won't sync to the iPod.
