If its from the music store should play.. did you goto the iphone options and then click on the movies tab and make sure its checked to sync to phone?

Also make sure you played it in i-Tunes. My episodes of Lost which I downloaded off if i-tunes would not sync until I opened them in i-tunes and played it.

It seems as though there is a lot of issues with video on the iPhone. There is one solution, Zannel. You can send video directly to your phone or watch great quality video directly from their site on your phone as well. I think its a great solution until the video bugs are fixed.

I recorded a football games this weekend on my Dish DVR, then made a DVD on my Panasonic recorder. (plays fine on my TV or computer). Then ran it thru Handbrake and I now have an 850 MB Mpeg4 on my desktop. Won't sync up to my iPhone. Got everything checked, etc ... tried it twice. Just sync's up everything else ... no problem. I played about 5 minutes of the Mpeg4 thru iTunes - no problem. Have I missed something?
