@enrico No, I was just using curl to show you that with the user agent trick, it should be working. The user agent trick for FF should still work.

Oh, one is supposed to use curl in combination with UserAgent? Didn’t know that, I thought the UserAgent for FF was “enough”. :-/
But looking at curl, I think it’s a bit out of my league…

Btw, if it is relevant, I have a PC with Windows XP Sp 3.

@enrico, each movie trailer supplier does their own re-encodings and depending on the bitrate they specify during the re-encodes, it can sometimes generate a smaller or larger file.

I just did a quick check and the Apple link appears to still be working when UserAgent string equal to QuickTime:

curl -A QuickTime -I http://movies.apple.com/movies/paramount/ironman2/ironman2-z7r459g-tlr1_h1080p.mov

it’s probably an “older than old” question, but why does the myspace version weigh less than the file from apple.com?
I’d like to have the ‘official’ version from apple.com, but the UserAgent thing doesn’t work (for me… right now.. for the past 30 minutes).

if anyone could answer to this post and try to help me out -or try to- a little bit, it would be greatly appreciated!

This version has Apple Lossless Audio instead of AAC.
Apple.com version has AAC 6 Channel.

Awesome, thanks for the MP4 encode! Downloading now.

I deleted the original .mov, but my MP4 encode has sound so I’m assuming the original does also?

Someone brought to my attention that these trailers do not have sound. Can someone confirm?
