So is there no direct download link for the HD trailer in DivX format?

somewhere, but if it's the same server as above there might be a problem.

anyway, get the qt version and mplayer for windows (along with the windows codecs if it doesnt work). a fast machine should play the 720p version ( http://images.apple.com/movies/us/hd_gallery/gl1800/serenity_m720p.mov ). the 1080p should be pretty useless for most, unless your display really has a resolution of 1920xX (or you just want to make some huge screenshots) AND you have a ridiculously fast machine (as in: i dont know if any current pc can play it smoothly at all).

on a slower machine you can still use mencoder (comes with mplayer) and either export to uncompressed avi (requires about 3.5gb) or recompress as xvid or whatever.

if you're on the universal board, there should be a couple links you can try (it finally got a search function *g*).

Am I missing something here? The MOV file requires Quicktime 7, and since I'm on Windows, I'm out of luck at the moment. It'd be nice if someone on the Mac could make this MOV into an AVI...

yep, youre missing that mplayer is available for windows and plays them just fine. stop believing what the companies want you to believe to make you buy their products ,-)

the only problem with other players is that they usually see "oh, mov file" and use the qt plugin that cant handle h264 in quicktime movies. mplayer can handle mov containers just fine on its own and hence has no problem with playing the h264 video and aac audio stream. if they would have place the same video in a standard mpeg or even avi container pretty much all players could play them.

still, you will need a fast machine to decode that monster in realtime.
