I automatically clicked on the link in this e-mail and guess what -
mozilla opened and replayed the trailer perfectly.

So if it is just a matter of "decoding" the right URL I guess it should
be possible to do - after all, some windows players are able to do that.
What exactly is the problem with finding the right URL? Feel free to
speak technically, I should be able to get it.

BTW, http://www.nova.cz/tvarchiv/ provides the URL in a HTTP stream and
aviplayer was for a loong time the only player that was able to decode
the HTTP and find out the video's real URL. Now gxine is able to play
all the archive correctly. I hope something like that can be done to
apple trailers as well :-)
