Save QuickTime movie trailer files to computer without Pro
You need to do two things to download trailers.
-
Modify the url. Example:
http://movies.apple.com/movies/fox/avatar/avatar-fte1_720p.mov
becomes:
http://movies.apple.com/movies/fox/avatar/avatar-fte1_h720p.mov
Notice the added h.

Change the user agent string.
I use wget to download trailers (if you've got OS X or Linux, you've already got it, the link there is for Windows). Use a user agent string from Quicktime, so you type:
wget -U QuickTime/7.6.2 http://movies.apple.com/movies/fox/avatar/avatar-fte1_h720p.mov
