How do I download the trailers available on apple.com into a format that I can view on my NX70:confused:

Are they in Quicktime format ( .mov .qt )?

Then try Image Converter, start it, then drag and drop.

You first must have Quicktime pro which costs $29.99. That is the only way you can get the option to save the video on your desktop. then youcan drag & drop into image converter. I do this all the time and video looks great

Thanks. Is there another option besides paying for Quicktime pro? It is getting a bit costly.

Quicktime can save its movies in the Internet Explorer/Mozilla caches once they're completely downloaded. It's a configurable option in the preferences, though media creators can override it. It's worth looking in there, you might find the files intact and convertable by drag 'n' drop as twinsdad says.

Failing that, check other trailer sites. Some trailers are downloadable, some are ripped off and mirrored elsewhere. I sometimes find otherwise-unobtainable trailers linked to from http://www.movie-list.com , though this isn't the only such site.

Good luck!
