Damn you, iTunes

Before flying out for Christmas, I made sure to rip five more episodes of The Wire to keep me entertained on the plane.

Oh! A new version of HandBrake. Sweet. I ripped, I added to iTunes, I labeled the videos as “TV Shows” (thanks for paying attention to where I dragged them, iTunes).

Now, in NJ, I come to sync… and they won't. iTunes shows them in the list, lets me check them, and syncs, but simply ignores those. Older rips copy fine. It doesn't even have the courtesy to show the usual “this video format won't play on this device” message.

Is it the additional 2 pixels of vertical resolution that the Info window reports? Otherwise the video files are identical.

Nothing in the Console. No messages. Damn you, iTunes. Happy Christmas to me.
