Default adding movies on iPhone not bought on iTunes

I have the season 5 of niptuck I want to add to my iPhone. It's in the library and everything but it will not go into my movies or tvshows section and will not sync onto my iPhone. Yet it's in my movies section. I don't understand how to get it onto my iPhone. It's in iTunes and converted and everything.

I use the Cucusoft DVD to IPOD converter. Its a nice program and you can even pick your bitrate to save space. Just put Blue Harvest on my new Iphone this morning, it looks great!

Cucusoft and Xilisoft are the best for PC. I have found that the best by a very large margin though is Toast Titanium if you have a mac. It is a CD/DVD burning software, but it flawlessly converts all video types and automatically syncs it to your iTunes. Just one click, wait, and drag into your phone and its there, easy as that.

If you have a Mac and need a new program to put on it, I recommend Toast because it converts, but does much more as well.

I have been using DVD Fab Gold with mobile option for awhile now. It is an excellent program that will format the movie specifically to the iphone. It is spendy at around $50. Works flawlessly on my PC. Does not work for Mac

I didn't want to pay for a converter and found a free one. Is that why it didn't work? I mean the episodes are sitting in iTunes converted to iPhone and I just can't seem to get it to recognize it. How do you put it on? Mine is sitting in the movies section and I tried dragging onto my iPhone and it just wouldn't let me

Did you click on the video tab and select which videos you want to sync?
