APPLE MOVIE TRAILERS : QuickTime 6 is far more clever about what it does when it goes into full-screen mode. At least for me, it no longer changes resolutions.I home they get all of the issues on that cleared up soon and get it released.I've found a trick to save any quicktime movie (even heavily protectedone).Go on the web page containing the movie, right click and select VIEWSOURCE.Find the name of the movie ( *.mov)- Launch quick time player - Select FILE -> OPEN, cut & paste the name of the file - let the movie download entirely- there will be a IDHxx.TMP file (xx is a number) in one of the tempdirectory on your machine.. The file will be lock so you cannot copyand paste it elsewhere.- Launch Microsoft backup utility- Backup the movie ( IDHxx.TMP file)- restore it elsewhere, rename to SOMETHING.MOV- enjoy the movie..It's been in there a while. If you know where to look it is possibleto alter the downloaded file to make it into a playable movie. Or atleast it was once possible to do so. APPLE MOVIE TRAILERS : But as an aside, I find it mind numbingly stupid for anyone to make amovie trailer not be savable, and only confirms that studio execs havetheir head up their asses. I mean, why would a person want to save atrailer? To share with other people maybe? And yet the studiosdon't want people doing this?!? They only want the trailer seen by afew people with fast network connections?!?You can save both smaller versions. Guess Paramount just doesn't want togive away the high res version.I just saved the small screen version of Nemesis to my hard drive withno problems. I use OS 9.2.2 and Quicktime Pro 5.0.2. Did you check yourQuicktime settings to make sure your registration code is still entered?The movie studios consider this "Digital Rights Management.." Withoutgetting into the right or wrong of their position, it basically means theytake away the ability to save the trailer to your hard drive. It's not upto Apple, QuickTime must support DMR or Apple won't get new movie trailers.Real and Windows Media players also have DMR. APPLE MOVIE TRAILERS : OK - now I'll mention my own opinion. These trailers are the sameCOMMERCIALS that we usually try to skip over while watching TV because theykeep showing them over and over and over again. So I don't see the need forDMR at least with movie trailers. It seems excessive, invasive, and alittle too Orwellian. IMHO, this is just a precursor of future DMR issues.IE more rights for them - less rights for us.In OS9, the trailers are either stored in the Prefs/IE/download directory orin the Invisible Items folder (hidden). There's an old program floatingaround called Invisible File Copier iirc that will let you get into theInvisible Items folder in OS9. I'm not sure about OSX. The terminal willprobably let you do it somehow. I spend almost all my time in OSX but neverbothered to look into the hidden files.......joe APPLE MOVIE TRAILERS : QuickTime 5 has five different cable modem settings (256, 384, 512 768 Kpbs,and 1 Mbps) ?How do I know which one to choose? Download speeds are highly variable, from site to site, day to day, and minute to minute. Generally, on my connection, I see downloads of about 500 to 900 Kbps, which show up as 50 - 90 KBps on some of the on screen download meters. A good test of this is to download 4 -6 binaries at a time using MT-NewsWatcher; the total of the download speeds is a good indication of your bandwidth. However, one single download will rarely approach that. Twice, I think, I had peculiar downloads that hit 300 KBps; nearly knocked my monitor over. Also, try checking at some of the Bandwidth/Speed test sites. You may be quite surprised at the variability. I think what QT5 may be doing is setting up a cache: the slower the nominal speed, the larger the cache (or bigger delay before playing.) APPLE MOVIE TRAILERS : Another way to set this up is to simply play a few streaming movies (the QuickTime site has a lot of enjoyable trailers) and see at what speed you start to get "buffer under-runs." (My term for what happens when QT starts downloading the movie, gets to where it _thinks_ it's get enough of a head start, starts playing, catches up to the buffer, pauses to fill the buffer up some more, and then starts playing again.) Anyway, at that point, your speed is set too high. (But like Red Beard said, speeds can vary a lot from server to server, day to day, hour to hour.) I believe QT can also automatically select among several streamsavailable with different bitrates. But in order to do this, it has toknow the speed to prefer.Here's another cool link. If you fill out the "survey" form (what type of connection you have, where you are), you get a cool graph showing you how your speed rates:
