 Hi,
 
 I'm using FC13 with the latest firefox and chrome, and neither can
 download the Apple movie trailers, such as this one:
 
 http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/fox_searchlight/conviction/
 
 I've selected Watch Now-Download-1080p. It downloads a 80b file,
 which apparently contains a path to the actual MOV file, but not the
 whole file. It also starts to play the audio in the background without
 any reference to where it is coming from.
 
 Both firefox and chromium do the same thing. I've tried configuring
 the file associations, particularly those for .mov files to Save As
 instead of playing, but it has no apparent effect.
 
 Pointers greatly appreciated.
 Thanks,
 Alex
This won't really help but the trailer plays fro me from firefox when I
click Watch Now..

So, you must have a plugin for it.
Can you browse to about:plugins to see what plugin is used
for .mov extentions and is it enabled?
I have latest F13 fedora and
MIME Type  Description Suffixes Enabled
video/quicktime  Quicktime   mov   Yes
but the video link referred to by Alex does not play.

 video/quicktime QuickTime video mov Yes

Yes, the totem plugin is also what I have, and don't recall installing
it, so I believe it was already installed?

The video does play for me through the Watch method. I've tried
disabling the mov file extension from the
about:config-extensions.dta.filters.deffilter-vid.test, but it still
played the audio with no video, and didn't prompt to Save As.

Thanks,
Alex

Now I am confused. It by clicking on the Watch I get the video to play.

Well, does it play?
I would not mind if it is played by something other
that what the plugin says it should be played by.
But I get no playback either, let alone being able
to download the stream - which is what the original
OP (Alex) complained about.

Downloading trailers from Apple?

2010-10-16 Thread Alex
Hi,

I'm using FC13 with the latest firefox and chrome, and neither can
download the Apple movie trailers, such as this one:

which apparently contains a path to the actual MOV file, but not the
whole file. It also starts to play the audio in the background without
any reference to where it is coming from.

 $ file conviction-tlr1_1080p.mov
 conviction-tlr1_1080p.mov: Apple QuickTime multiple URLs

 It's essentially a QuickTime playlist, containing the actual address of the
 movie encoded somehow. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to read its content.
 If you buy the Mac and the QuickTime player, I guess it would read the address
 and play the movie for you. Otherwise, I don't know.

 Maybe someone else can help out.

 HTH, :-)
 Marko


You may want to try Downloadhelper 4.7.3 which is a Firefox extension 
add on that will download flv and save it or convert it.

It may work for quicktime mov files as well. Worth a go

Hello,

You might want to try out these packages:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=643392

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=643391

They're still under review though.
