Requires Quicktime.

It looks like an extremely odd movie... Not quite sure what to make of it just yet...

The first half of the trailer looked very interesting. Then it went all bizarre and insane. Must have been a quicktime error :P

That damn song got stuck in my head... So of course I had to download it.

Darn you college students / non-boonie living people!
I can't view the trailer (without wasting massive time downloading it...)

I even tried to use dowload accelerator, so it downloaded the 8.6 KB .mov file (yes 8.6...) which I assume loads another .mov somewhere on the internet (the REAL trailer)...

/me hits Insane with roofing shingles.

Yes; Quicktime = EVIL!

:pain:

[Zips]

Uh... no.

Care to explain exactly why? .... Without simply saying "because it's a product of Mac."

I do not like Quicktime because like all other streaming video formats (Windows Media, Real) they have ways of hiding where the actual movie is downloaded, so that you cannot download the movie directly even though if I were to download the trailer directly it would use up just as much bandwidth as viewing it through my browser.

Downloading the trailer directly might even save bandwidth, as users would not have to reconnect and redownload the trailer everytime they wanna watch it.

I like Quicktime much more than Real at least...
Just because everyone else redirects and reredirects the player to variou sites before actually getting to the trailer (ads etc) it doesn't make it right.

I like Mac.

Quicktime = horrible resolution, horrible download time, and usually crashes and/or won't work.

And it's a mac product :P

[Zips]

Well maybe if you configure it a bit more you won't have the horrible download times :P

I have great speeds with it, no problems with crashes or it not working. Not sure about the resolution issue though as that really isn't a media player's side of things if they're just playing back what someone else made... :wacko:
