Hi,
I'm using FC13 with the latest firefox and chrome, and neither can download the Apple movie trailers, such as this one:
http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/fox_searchlight/conviction/
I've selected Watch Now->Download->1080p. It downloads a 80b file, which apparently contains a path to the actual MOV file, but not the whole file. It also starts to play the audio in the background without any reference to where it is coming from.
Both firefox and chromium do the same thing. I've tried configuring the file associations, particularly those for .mov files to "Save As" instead of playing, but it has no apparent effect.
Pointers greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alex

$ file conviction-tlr1_1080p.mov conviction-tlr1_1080p.mov: Apple QuickTime multiple URLs
It's essentially a QuickTime playlist, containing the actual address of the movie encoded somehow. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to read its content. If you buy the Mac and the QuickTime player, I guess it would read the address and play the movie for you. Otherwise, I don't know.
Maybe someone else can help out.
HTH, :-) Marko

You may want to try Downloadhelper 4.7.3 which is a Firefox extension add on that will download flv and save it or convert it.
It may work for quicktime mov files as well. Worth a go

Hello,
You might want to try out these packages:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=643392
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=643391
They're still under review though.

So, you must have a plugin for it. Can you browse to about:plugins to see what plugin is used for .mov extentions and is it enabled? I have latest F13 fedora and MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled video/quicktime Quicktime mov Yes but the video link referred to by Alex does not play.

Thhe above is what I have in about:plugins, is what you have so it is mysterious. Except it looks like the video is being played by: totem-plugin-vi

Yes, the totem plugin is also what I have, and don't recall installing it, so I believe it was already installed?
The video does play for me through the "Watch" method. I've tried disabling the mov file extension from the about:config->extensions.dta.filters.deffilter-vid.test, but it still played the audio with no video, and didn't prompt to "Save As".
Thanks, Alex

Now I am confused. It by clicking on the Watch I get the video to play.

Well, does it play? I would not mind if it is played by something other that what the plugin says it should be played by. But I get no playback either, let alone being able to download the stream - which is what the original OP (Alex) complained about.
