Apple Trailers or How to view .Mov files

[loopback]

This happens all the time. It started with Etch then with Lenny and its now happening with Squeeze.

I can't play Apple's .mov files. I start out viewing them when I first installed my systems. But later on, maybe after an update, they don't play. Not that I go to the official Apple Trailers site all that often but it chaps me to no end.

Perhaps it's Apple that changes things - a new version? What ever the case, I just can't view/play .mov/Apple files.

I have all the codecs necessary to view all the rest of streaming vids. So what's the solution?

Thanks.

It's apple.com's fault.

Oh, well. So much for that. Luckily it's not a big problem for me.

I got it to work for me, I can view apple trailers just fine and all I used was the useragent switcher.

What pray tell, is the useragent switcher?

If you mean using the method from the link, it didn't work for me. Besides, this is too much just to view Apple's .mov files.

And even easier way is to go to Hulu Movie Trailers. No fuss, no muss.
