I read this some moments ago. Can it be done, guys?
"I get trailers for some movies to show the family. mainly if it is something interesting that I might take them to see. What I do is;
1) Go to the regular apple site to view it.
2) View source of the web page and find and select the actual URL for the file. (simular to http://images.apple.com/movies/wb/t...and-int_480.mov)
3) I open quicktime player and <File> <Open URL in new player> and past that string into it. Then <File><Save as> and pick make movie self contained.
4) Then I use TMPGEnc to reencode to MPEG2 at a high bitrate (7000)so no reencoding artifacts show up.
It wouild be great to automate this, and tie it in to the theater listing plugin! Just brouse a theater, then look and say "What the heck is that movie, and hit play trailer!!!!!"
