How to download Trailers from Apple Site




Here are two ways in through which you will be able download trailers from Apple's site.

1. Using Grease Monkey Script
First install Grease Monkey(it's a firefox addon)
After installing greasemonkey, visit this link.
A script is given here,goto Firefox tools>Greasemonkey>install user script.
A window will appear which will ask for installation , click install.
Now you are ready, goto apple site ,goto trailers section,click on the trailer which you want to download.
You will get a option list like shown in pic in bottom right corner.
Click on the the resolution you want ,the movie will start buffering.
A clickable image will be there on right bottom of firefox near grease monkey icon
.On Clicking it will ask for saving option.
I use flashgot and Magic's Video downloader(both firefox addons)
Script Source: http://userscripts.org

2.Second Method
Visit the movie page whose trailer you want to download on the Apple site.
Goto Firefox View>Page Source or press ctrl+u.
A new window will appear. Now press ctrl+f.
Search for the type of resolution you want,like search 720p.
On the first hit you will get this type of scriptline

href="http://movies.apple.com/movies/weinstein/inglouriousbasterds/inglouriousbasterds-tlr2_720p.mov"

Copy the http link and paste in the browser, add h before the reolution like in the above case

"http://movies.apple.com/movies/weinstein/inglouriousbasterds/inglouriousbasterds-tlr2_h720p.mov" , hit enter.
Trailer will start buffering and after it finishes do as mentioned in method first.

One important thing that you should have quicktime plugin in your firefox which enables the buffering
Now enjoy the trailers!!!
