iPod Video Menu Problem

I just bought a new video iPod and I've got a pretty good grasp of how everything works. My problem is to do with TV Shows. I have some I want to transfer onto my iPod. I converted them into MPEG-4 files using Jodix and imported them into iTunes. That went fine. I uploaded them onto my iPod - also went fine. But when I go into my Video menu on my iPod, the only options are 'Video Playlists', 'Movies', 'Music Videos', 'Video Podcasts' and 'Video Settings'. There's no option for TV Shows and that's what my shows are saved under on iTunes, so I can't access them on my iPod. Anyone know why there isn't a TV Shows option on the video menu? Should there be? If not, how do I access TV Shows then? I'm hopelessly confused.

I guess I could save the TV Shows as Movies in iTunes, but it seems pointless having the TV Show catagory in iTunes, if it doesn't translate onto the iPod itself. Am I making any sense?

Also, what's the best software/settings to use when converting video files for iPod use?

What version of iTunes are you using. i had this problem before. i went to categorize them but it only showed music videos and movies but there was a TV shows tab right at the top :-S

But when i updated to v 6.0.4 the TV shows option was there for categorizing your videos

hoped this helped

Please read this link carefully, everything is explained very clearly..

Especially read this part

Quote:
The TV Show option, while sensible if you record your own shows using a Tivo or other PVR, is reserved for shows purchased through iTunes Music Store. If you label a file Tivo Show using the Video Kind selection, it won't show up in the reserved TV Shows playlist when transferred to your iPod.

So basically, it will only show 'TV Shows' from the iTunes Music Store.
