Trailers

Watching Apple HiDef trailers in Linux through a browser is problematic, if not downright impossible. So the answer is just to download them.

1. Go to Apple trailers, right click on the link to the trailer and copy.

2. In a terminal type:

wget -U 'Quicktime/7.6.2'

3. Add a space at the end and then past the URL

4. This is the important bit, move the cursor back to before the resolution of the trailer, i.e. 720p.mov. He you need to add a h, i.e. h720p.mov

Example 1 (before adding an h)

wget -U 'Quicktime/7.6.2' http://trailers.apple.com/movies/lionsgate/conanthebarbarian/conan-tlr2_480p.mov

Example 2 (after adding the h)

wget -U 'Quicktime/7.6.2' http://trailers.apple.com/movies/lionsgate/conanthebarbarian/conan-tlr2_h480p.mov

5. Hit return and the file downloads in to the main root of your home directory.

Difficult eh...
