I made a little Windows tool to download trailers from Apple (also supports other pages):

Screenshot: http://i46.tinypic.com/2jeokdu.png
Download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D9ZMZY6E

Instructions: Copy a web site URL such as http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/ironman/ or http://www.hd-trailers.net/movie/avatar/ (i.e. a page where the trailers are linked) or a direct mov URL such as http://largeassets.myspacecdn.com/creative/hd/avatar_trlr/100256822_720p.mov and click Continue!

@hdtrailersuser: I don’t know what more you want us to say besides what’s already on this blog.

Thanks for all your’s & users efforts for making this site.
Good day.

@hdtrailersuser: The purpose of adding the ‘h’ was to get the direct download link (instead of the shortcut file which w/o the h provides).

You have to remove the (h) of all the apple trailers to work.
http://movies.apple.com/movies/independent/bitchslap/bitchslap-tlr1_480p.mov without the (h) i have tried it in the quick time player open url and it worked.
Good Day.

I hate their trailers anyway… always putting an apple logo on the bottom right corner.

Love the Yahoo! ones, Flashget + fast download.

@Le Bao Phuc: Thanks for sending that in. It looks like once again, replacing the subdomain from movies to www is working again.

I tried to remove ‘movies’ subdomain and it worked, surprised!

An example: if the url from HDTrailer is http://movies.apple.com/movies/independent/badlieutenant/badlieutenant-tlr_h720p.mov, you will change it to http://apple.com/movies/independent/badlieutenant/badlieutenant-tlr_h720p.mov (delete ‘movies.’ string).

I got getright and tried the useragent thing and it did not work for me.

Any other suggestions

The quicktime alternative use to be able to autodownload the stuff but that does not work anymore either.

think this is purposely driving more people to download itunes?

navi: thanks for the wget info. that worked like a champ on toy story 3. I prefer to use download ’em all when I can but that is a great alternate approach.

Thanks Krunk@9, i didnt find it earlier.
Its possible to download trailers using only:

wget -U quicktime link.to.trailer.with.added.h.before.resolution

its a lot shorter thus better 🙂

Thanks for the user agent tip!

For anyone reading that doesn’t like or want to use wget or GetRight, but does use Firefox this is how I do it:

1. Get the add-on ‘User Agent Switcher’ from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59
2. Get the add-on ‘FireBug’ from http://getfirebug.com/
3. Add the listed QuickTime user agent to the user agent list.

And then when you want to dl a trailer:
1. Switch to the QuickTime user agent.
2. Hit F12, use the Inspect tool to browse to the button HTML, edit the HTML.
3. Right click the button, save link as.

GG 🙂

Yahoo is not slow 😉 I download HD trailers from there all the time. They always finished in a matter of secs or 1 minute.

@navi: Yep, that's one of the workarounds I've listed.

Thanks mee@5

It works with wget too, just use –user-agent=’QuickTime/7.6.2 (qtver=7.6.2;os=Windows NT 5.1Service Pack 3)’ option.

Example:
wget –user-agent=’QuickTime/7.6.2 (qtver=7.6.2;os=Windows NT 5.1Service Pack 3)’ http://movies.apple.com/movies/newline/anightmareonelmstreet/nightmareonelmstreet-tlr1_h480p.mov

That works mee, thanks for the tip.

Apple will not have their own way, we will make sure of that ;D

For those with GetRight, open it, click F8, expand the ‘Advanced’ tab, select protocols and copy and paste Mee’s quote in the HTTP user agent box.
