Here's a question:

I want to sync video podcasts to my iphone. Specifically, I want only the episodes that I've checked off in the little button next to each. Example: Podcast is "MacBreak for the iPod Video". I've downloaded the 15 most recent epidodes. I don't want to delete them becasue sometimes I go back and reference them. But I only want Episodes 10, 8, and 2 on my iPhone.

How can I do this without deleting the episodes from iTunes? Syncing podcasts only allows a limited number of options, like 1, 3, or 5 most recent. I don't understand why there isn't another option in this dialog for "only checked episodes"--or maybe there it's somewhere and I haven't found it.

I've tried Preferences-nothing. I've tried making Smart Playlists (to say only checked episodes), but they are outranked by the Podcast synching controls. I don't understand why there is an option to download "only checked" videos, but not video podcasts. Any help would be appreciated!
