Open Itunes, and look for the sync option, (make sure your apple tv is connected to your network and that itunes recognized it) then after clicking sync in itunes select sync with apple tv, or look for a drop down list that says apple tv then click sync.

Putting a downloaded movie onto itunes or iphone

everlloyd,
You have to downsize those movies for use on an iPod, it's a waste of space to put it in full size, there are some free shareware versions, quicktime Pro will but it will cost you. Also there are several movie making programs that will do it as well. You want to change you preferences for the iPod to function as a hard drive so you can store file on the iPod, it is a newer version I'm guessing with the latest software so you can play back the new movies even the ones you download from the iTunes Store. Your local Apple Store will also suggest thier favorite programs to do the job.
