[UAUG] formating videos for iPhone and TV

I just tried syncing some videos to my iPhone and received an error  
that they were not in the correct format. I knew that they were (.m4v)  
so I was puzzled. What didn't iTunes like about them. So, I right- 
clicked and had it format them for iPhone to see what difference would  
be between the file it produced and the one I already had. The  
difference? Dimensions. It sized it down a little. This is  
frustrating. I have my videos large (high resolution) so that they  
play beautifully on my TV. I don't want to have to have two copies  
of every video, one large and one small. My hard drive is already  
full. I wish that iTunes could just size it down as it transfers it to  
the mobile device. It does this with music and phones. Why can't it do  
it with videos? I am sure the answer is no, but no one knows a way  
around this, do they?
