So I bought the 5th season of 24 and want to watch it from episode 1 on m iPhone. I have 24 episodes and they obviously won't fit on my iPhone at the same time. No problem. I just want to put on 3 episodes at a time but under the iTunes Video Tab, it does not allow me to select the oldest videos. It only gives me the option to sync all, which is not a reality, Sync the most recent, or most recent unwatched. It does not allow me to sync or ad the video contac that I want to see. I tried creating a playlist in iTunes and then just selecting in the music playlist tab in iTunes but it does not show up because the playlist has video and not music files. What do I need to do to work around this issue?

You need to just use the "Sync all episodes of selected playlists" option and use it with a playlist that you will create.

It depends a bit on how you have them tagged, but I imagine that this will work. Make a smart playlist with the following attributes:

Artist is 24
Play Count is 0

Then check "Limit to 3 items, selected by name."

That should give you the first 3 unwatched episodes of 24 in their own playlist. Then just select that playlist for the iPhone sync and it should work. Let me know if you have any problems.
