Greg, Thanks that worked in that the short movies are now .m4v files in my Home>Movies folder and when I clicked on one it appeared iTunes Movies and played. However when i attach my iPod touch to my iMac, and go to sync, I get the message "There are no rental movies in your iTunes library that can be transferred to this iPod."
I also don't understand why I can't view "Luxo Jr." which I bought from iTunes Store for $1.99. It will play on my computer but will not load on my iPod touch. And last night when I went to iTunes Help to try and find an answer to mu question about the .avi (maybe it stood for avian?) I got a help sheet which had some graphics but the graphics were just appropriate size boxes with ? in the middle. What gives with Apple or my iMac and touch?
