Digital Movie Trailers Done Right: Apple's Quicktime Movie Trailers

[Jason Dunn]

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.apple.com/trailers/' target='_blank'>http://www.apple.com/trailers/</a><br /><br /></div>I'm not a huge fan of Quicktime as a format for video, but I'll say this much: if you're a movie fan like I am, and you like watching trailers of upcoming movies, there's no site as fast, simple, and high quality as Apple's movie trailer page. The only reason I install the Quicktime player is to watch movie trailers, because Apple has made it a simple two-click process to see a trailer, and they always offer a large broadband version of the trailer. It's also a great way to see trailers for upcoming movies - I had no idea that <a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/i_robot/video_large.html">I, Robot</a> was coming out this year. Looks cool! I wish there was a way to get content like this on mobile devices - I'd love to watch a few new movie trailers every day on my WiFi-equipped Pocket PC if there was an easy way to do it.<br /><br />Any other movie fans out there?

Movie trailers were one of the first things I viewed after getting broadband. They do have quite a few good trailers...and videos..

I Love movies, I wish there was easier ways to get them on my ppc. I have to say that quicktime movies do look great, to bad there's no quicktime for the ppc, that would be very nice.

Hollwood.com (http://www.hollywood.com/multimedia/previews.asp) have a reasonable selection of trailers - often in high quality WMV9 :D

I love the New Harry Potter trailer. Hermonie Granger rocks my world! and I can't wait to see a real view of the Hippogriff.

Alien V. Predator looks interesting too, but you can tell that the plot is going to be bad.

They have a bunch that stream nicely to the PocketPC. Also some live cams that work well.

Will Smith is in I, Robot? I'll skip it...he still owes me 7.50 for ID4.

Oh yea, how did I, Robot become another summer action flick?!?!
