1.One reason is that your iTunes movie are downloaded with DRM, which may limit your use of movies. Just remove them before you play them on other devices.
2. Sony NWZ-E438F only supports WMV. You should convert M4V(most of iTunes movies are in this format. ) to WMV. Please find detailed information in the hyperlink. https://www.leawo.org/tutorial/itunes-movie-wont-play-several-solutions-provided-1077.html?qa=1410

The Sony NWZ range can only play WMV (windows media video) files. All movies you download through iTunes are .Mov (quicktime) files so these are not compatible. There are some convertors that can translate between .mov and wmv but for movies you have downloaded through iTunes, this will not be possible I'm afraid because of the copy protection they have built in.

To transfer wmv files onto your walkman don't use iTunes but use the Windows Explorer itself. Just drag the files on to the Video folder of your device.

All the best

NWZ-E348F Video Problem

Hello,

Assuming that you mean the NWZ-E438F model, when using the Media
Manager for Walkman, it has no conversion tool.

For transferring video the Content Transfer software should be used
and installed first.
All support for the NWZ-E438F, see next site:
http://support.sony-europe.com/dna/wm/nwvp/nwvp.aspx?site=odw_en_GB&m=NWZ-E438F
Under the bar Downloads, see the site to the conversion tool: http://support.sony-europe.com/dna/downloads/downloads.aspx?site=odw_en_GB&m=NWZ-E438F&f=Con_trans13
