How to download HD Trailers from Apple.com
<update>
For simplified instructions, see: Tutorial: Download from Apple
I’ve also added instructions to download HD trailers from Yahoo! Movies: Tutorial: Download from Yahoo!
Finally, I’ve made a simple and elegant page to make downloading HD trailers super easy:
HD-Trailers.net
</update>
So Quicktime sucks and is a horrible video player. That’s why there’s VLC and Media Player Classic with Quicktime Alternative. However, HD trailers on Apple.com forces you to use Quicktime to watch the HD versions. However, the decoding of the video is so poorly done, I can’t even watch 480p through Quicktime.
So a year back or so, I decided to figure out a way to download these High Definition trailers so I can watch them through VLC or MPC. I believe with VLC, you don’t need the QT alternative codec, but with MPC or WMP, you do. Anyway, if you go to an HD trailer page, e.g. Apple - Trailers - Breach- HD, you’ll usually see 3 buttons: 480p, 720p, and 1080p. My machine’s not fast enough to decode their 1080p, so I always opt for the 720p version. Trailers are usually a couple hundred megs, depending on how long it is. When I showed Derek this trick, he noticed that even though trailers said 1080p, they were hardly ever 1920×1080, usually something a bit smaller.
Anyway, once you’re on an HD trailer page:
- Go to view source (CTRL+U in Firefox)
- Search for 720p or 1080p (or 480p if you want) and it’s the 2nd hit you want.
- You’ll find something close to this:
QT_WriteOBJECT_XHTML(’http://movies.apple.com/trailers/images/hd_btn2_720p.mov’, ‘67′, ‘24′, ”, ‘bgcolor’, ‘FFFFFF’, ‘controller’, ‘false’, ‘href’, ‘http://images.apple.com/movies/universal/breach/breach-tlr1_720p.mov‘, ‘target’, ‘QuickTimePlayer’); - The 1st hit (i.e. hd_btn2_720p.mov) is just the image of the button. The 2nd hit (i.e. breach-tlr1_720p.mov) is actually a file that points to where the real trailer is ‘hidden’.
- Take the 2nd URL and add an h between the _ and the resolution:
From: http://images.apple.com/movies/universal/breach/breach-tlr1_720p.mov
To: http://images.apple.com/movies/universal/breach/breach-tlr1_h720p.mov
For 1080p, it would be:
http://images.apple.com/movies/universal/breach/breach-tlr1_h1080p.mov - Next you can enter that URL into your browser and save it when it finishes downloading or whatever. I usually just use wget which came with Cygwin
Before, I used to keep all the trailers on my HDD:

But then I decided that it wasn’t really worth keeping all these trailers, since I hardly ever rewatch them, so they went bye bye one day.
I usually visit the Apple Trailers site once or twice a month and watch all the trailers. For the trailers that have HD, I just paste all the links into notepad and do a replace all like:
wget http://images.apple.com/movies/disney/bridge_to_terabithia/bridge_to_terabithia-tlr1_h720p.mov http://images.apple.com/movies/sony/offside/offside_h720p.mov http://images.apple.com/movies/universal/the_good_shepherd/the_good_shepherd-tlr2_h720p.mov http://images.apple.com/movies/wb/harry_potter-phoenix/harry_potter_phoenix-tlr1_h720p.mov http://images.apple.com/movies/lionsgate/happily_never_after/happily_never_after_h720p.mov http://images.apple.com/movies/wb/lettersfromiwojima/lettersfromiwojima_h720p.mov

December 29th, 2006 at 11:04 am
Thanks for the tip!
if you are running Tiger - use curl. wget is a pain to install.
just type curl -C - -O (that is an oh, not a zero)
curl -C - -O http://images.apple.com/…/fantastic4silversurfer-tlr1_h720p.mov
December 30th, 2006 at 6:03 am
A command-line alternative to wget is curl, which is included with MacOS, so you don’t need to get anything with cygwin.
December 30th, 2006 at 9:01 am
Uhm…. but they’re still just trailers…
Or am I missing something?
Good tip I guess.
December 30th, 2006 at 8:02 pm
Easier way:
Just make the url into an html link, place in a text file- save as test.html - and open in your browser, right click on the link and goto save as or save target as. Easy said and done!
December 30th, 2006 at 8:10 pm
I actually do this but was too lazy to put a how-to. Nice one. Put this up at http://www.instructables.com or http://www.wikihow.com.
A nice web app would be just awesome to automate the whole thing… hmmm…
December 30th, 2006 at 9:25 pm
so once you have the correct url http://images.apple.com/…/fantastic4silversurfer-tlr1_h720p.mov, how do you save it to your hard drive from there?
December 30th, 2006 at 9:50 pm
if you I can’t even watch 480p through Quicktime, then you may be using windows with old herdware you morron!
December 30th, 2006 at 10:44 pm
See…I dont understand why any one would “want to keep” trailers???
Whats the point in just saving trailers?
Maybe I’m missing someting!

[...] I do not like Quicktime that much. I hate to use additional clients next to VLC to be able to view certain movies on websites. I also do not like the fact that you can’t save movies easily if you do not use Quicktime Pro. I discovered a method that makes it possible to save movies from the Apple Trailer website to your local drive and watch them in your favorite movie player afterwards. I use VLC for this purpose but Quicktime Alternative for instance should be fine as well. [...]

Your procedure will not work with Apple quicktime live stream from their events like WWDC. I have inspected the page source and download those .mov (very small due to they are not seft contained mov) and try to figure out the real movie stream. But I could not find any rstp downloader that could handle Apple protocol. It always failed.

Um, you’re not suppose to insert the ‘h’ inside of firefox. You copy the string into a text editor (i.e. notepad) and add the h there. And then use your favorite download program to download that.

March 24th, 2007 at 7:42 pm
Great tip man, you are a genious. Firefox actually tries to play the file in the body of the browser. IE however starts downloading. I have Download Accelerator Plus and it works great. Great tip man.
This is typical with Mac/Apple. There is always something less than everyone else has, always something to make you think your Mac needs an upgrade, your iPod needs an upgrade, you need just a little more. You need the pro version now. PROVERSION of what?? Stupid Quicktime? And then I have to PAY FOR IT? And I am sure some idiots pay since they done know about VLC, Classic Media Player, BSPlayer (older version) etc. Great programs that are free too. Actually there has not been a single file that my VLC has not been able to play, from streams, to Mp4, H264, Any divx, xvid you can imagine. I have not tried .mov yet but as soon as this trailer ends I will see and I am sure VLC will take care of it.
Stupid Quicktime does not even do full screen and by the way, I have a 1080p capable laptop on a 1080p screen and the stupid trailer is not 1080p vertical, its a little less from both sides. Its not exactly 1920×1080, its probably 1850×1020 or some stupid Apple invention.
APPLE: Pay more, Get less

is there a way that i can put these trailers to my accelerators

for example this one “Resident Evil: Extinction”
this one is also for watching
April 30th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
how can i find download links for these trailers for example “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”
April 30th, 2007 at 2:55 pm
Here are the links:
The Prisoner or: How I Planned To Kill Tony Blair
Resident Evil: Extinction
Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End
These required a bit more work. Inside the source of these files, you’ll find something that calls: QT_WriteOBJECT_XHTML. Inside this method, you’ll find a URL that has a reference *.mov file.
Download that *.mov file and open it in notepad. You’ll find the correct filename within that. Just search for .mov within that file. Some of the reference .mov files have 2 .mov files. Choose the size you want. If it bigs with a #, ignore it.
i.e. For Pirates of the Caribbean, I first downloaded this file and opened it in notepad. In notepad, I found this string: 6piratesofthecaribbean3-tlr3_h640w.mov
Remove the # in front of it (6 in this case) and swap the files from the original URL to become this.
enjoy!

September 4th, 2007 at 1:15 pm
Which part in the tutorial are you stuck at?
September 12th, 2007 at 6:24 am
Check this out. I’ve got a new metal and glass 24inch Imac…fastest yet. But watching quicktime videos they look like they have been heavily processed through a photoshop filter. Very heavily. Talked to an apple guy yesterday at their flagship store in S.F., and he says it’s becuase of the ATI graphics card…that it doesn’t “LIKE” older stuff or anything less than true HD. Even when I watch HD programming, which is showing real HD as opposed to an HD signal with reg video content, one can see lots of breakup in continuous tone surfaces…they become cartoon like in tone. It’s not my settings..it’s the limitations of the graphics card settings. I never had this problem watching non HD apple quicktime movie previews before on my older Imac. So with an upgrade in my computer, I get worse video processing. I picked up Seeker, an extrememly high end graphics tour of the solar system, for right now about $99. and although most of the graphics look stunning, as planets rotate, or one rotates and zooms in on the Hubble or the space station while a gorgeous earth below rotates with the sun setting and rising, one still sees a graded scale background in the stars that represents the mily way, etc. Stars and earth are very fine, but at first I thought it was the software. Once again, it’s the graphics card…and it’s not the card’s speed, it’s the decisions it makes. I’ll be writing the Mac magazines to grip about this lame problem. THe kid at Apple says if I download a 1080P trailer I won’t see this problem…well, at my ATT $10. buck a month DSl speed of around 760k it will take a while to download a 150 meg film, to check this out….I’ll get back to you guys…. thedre@value.net

Dear People.
When one refers to 1080p. They are referring to the biggest possible resolution of the video [1920x1080 progressive frames].
Due to the orginal aspect ratio of the film, Apple crop the black matte from top and bottom, to ensure a higher quality encode and a smaller filesize.
But if you want the longer download and poorer encode, ask Apple i’m sure they will be happy to oblige someone so knowledgeable about the film process………

http://movies.apple.com/…/prlady_480×376.mov
http://movies.apple.com/…/boxer_480×376.mov
http://movies.apple.com/…/apple-getamac-genius_480×376.mov
Scrolling a bit further, you’ll noticed:
{name:’small’,dimensions:’320×256′,text:’Small’};
{name:’medium’,dimensions:’480×376′,text:’Medium’};
{name:’large’,dimensions:’640×496′,text:’Large’};
{name:’hd’,dimensions:’848×496′,text:’HD’};
So if you take one of those original links and replace the 480×376 resolution with the one you want, you’ll be able to download these Get A Mac ads.

[...] How to download HD Trailers from Apple.com (Last week: #2) [...]

How do you download HD trailers from AOL??? The method for downloading from Apple doesn’t seem to work.
December 6th, 2007 at 10:59 pm
I haven’t looked at AOL’s HD Trailers, but what issues are you hitting into for Apple trailers?
December 6th, 2007 at 11:24 pm
I just look a look at AOL’s HD Trailers and they don’t look too complicated. The one I tried was: This Christmas
On that page, you’ll see 3 HD buttons: 480p, 720p, and 1080p
When you click on the HD button, it redirects you to a *.qtl file. Open the *.qtl file in notepad and search for the <embed> element. Look for the src attribute and you’ll find the direct link to the HD trailer. (e.g. 480p)

Many thanks, Krunk! Was a little confused at first, because I didn’t know what “Notepad” was (I use a Mac), but TextEdit worked just as well!
Here’s a link to the new Speed Racer trailer in 480p HD, for anyone who’s interested:

Why go through alot when there is the free software called Download Trailer v.2 that downloads trailers directly from Apple…. Google it
January 1st, 2008 at 6:27 am
I’m guessing you’re referring to this: Download Trailers v.2
Which doesn’t exactly look much quicker than what I’ve suggested. I’ve seen Firefox addons that provide direct downloads right on the page (or was it a grease monkey script).
Then of course, there’s my new HD-Trailers.net site if you just want a quick download.

Thanks for this, Krunk!
Also, to answer the question “Why would someone want to save trailers?”… here’s my reason: I have a home theater with an HD-ready PC connected to a 1080p front projector, a 110″ screen, recliner seating and an old-timey popcorn machine. When I have friends over to watch movies, it’s fun to show a few trailers before the “Main Feature.” It really adds to the movie theater flavor!

RE: laqui
I’m not exactly sure which widget you’re talking about, but the easiest way is probably: HD-Trailers.net
April 2nd, 2008 at 10:29 pm
I’ve been downloading HD trailers from apple.com for a while now. I figured out the “h” thing on my own like this. I let a 1080p trailer open in quicktime and begin loading, and i’d copy the source URL out of the “movie info” screen and into the Safari downloads window. It didn’t work. So I closed the trailer, and tried it again. This time it worked.
Apparently, re-opening the trailer adds the “h” in the source URL, causing it to be downloadable. I didn’t realize this for a while. I’d just open up each trailer twice before pasting the link. Then, sometime later, I noticed that upon the second opening, there was an “h” added in the URL.
I save all the 1080p trailers to my computer, and have been doing so for the past two years or so. I have 494 of them.
April 2nd, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Nice!
I’ve also started collecting them awhile back, but then I ran out of disk space and they became expendable. I first started collecting 720p since my cpu and graphics card wasn’t capable of playing 1080p without choppiness, but now I solely collect 1080p. I currently have 632 trailers, but that also includes the Yahoo! ones.
