What version of iTunes are you running. If it's recent version, I don't think it will play.mov files any more. It's a drive to get everyone on to .m4v You'll have to convert them, using something like "Handbrake". There's plenty of free stuff out there, just Google "video converters"

Have you got a PS3? Using a media server and a ps3 is a much better way to get HD movies to your Plasma. iTunes is good with Apple TV and ITS, but not for externally sourced media.

Download this program:
http://handbrake.fr/
to change the file format of your video that you downloaded to .mp4

This format is used on your iDevice and you can now view it in itunes and also on your device + PS3

Or if you want to use it elsewhere, id suggest converting it to a .avi file. But this is a very large file as its about 13gb/hour
