Can't save apple movie trailers

I just noticed with OS X 10.7.4 that you do not have the save feature for movie trailers that stream from the apple website. You can save them on iTunes, but if you try off the apple trailer page, you can't save it. You can download it but I've gone searching through my folders, used my search engine, even tried to look for a root folded that could be hidden.
So below I've added a screen shot of my situation. This is the movie trailer "Beautiful Creatures" that just got released today on Apple Trailers. I can't save the file through Quicktime.
I'm kind of going out of my mind a little trying to figure out why this isn't working. Anyone have any idea why OS X 10.7.4 doesn't have this option for Quicktime?

The File Menu "Save As..." option has been merged with the "Export" option under Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems.
As you can see in the image above, the default "Format: QuickTime movie" pop-up option allows the user to "Save a movie file that contains media in the same format as the original movie." Since this data is written to an MOV file container, this action is functionally equivalent to the old QT 7 Pro "Save As..." File Menu option.

Apple Movie Trailers Gone In ML?

Hello Folks,
I recenlty upgraded from SL to ML. In SL I could press/select command and esc and get an application with Apple Movie trailers to watch.
I can no longer do this key command in ML.
Was this capability removed from ML, or is it still there with different keystrokes?
Many thanks for any help.

Thanks for the pointer and link.
What was a feature in SL was a keystroke combination of command -esc which brought up Apple Trailers. All the trailers were listed in alphabeticlal order with descriptions of each and if clicked on would play.
It was a really nice feature in SL, and Leopard, used it for years.

Parental Controls / Front Row / Apple Movie Trailers

I have Parental Controls set up for my children. If they start up Front Row, they have access to the Apple Movie Trailers. Even though these trailers are approved for all audiences, they often contain mature, adult, and disturbing images.
So, how do I block access to Apple movie trailers? Here is what I've tried:
1. Remove access to *.apple.com in Parental controls. Didn't work.
2. Block *.apple.com in SafeEyes (internet filter program). Didn't work.
3. Uncheck Front Row in Parental Controls. Didn't work.
Front Row works no matter what Parental Controls says. And the trailers do not seem to be hosted on *.apple.com...
Any ideas as to what else I can try?
Thanks in advance!

"Front Row.app" can be disabled by downloading and installing the "Server Admin Tools" from Apple and using "Workgroup Manager.app", but to avoid the hassle for a one-off like this, try logging in to an "admin" account, launching "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering a command of the form below, substituting the managed account's "short name" where it says 'username':<pre style="overflow:auto; padding: 5px; width: 500px ; font-size: 10px; border:1">
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/dscl . -mcxset /users/username com.apple.frontrow PreventActivation always -bool true</pre>
As an aside, note that the "Front Row.app" in the "/Applications" folder is just a launcher for the actual "Front Row.app" buried in "/System/Library/CoreServices".

Can't save two movies joined together?

Hello,
Today I was posting a question on the Apple forums and went into Edit and copy since I wanted to ask the same question on another forum and then went and pasted it in on a forum board.
Now everytime I go into iMovie 08 and try and join the two movies together I get an error saying I can't save the movie as a public atom was found in there. So I open movie two and go to Edit Select All, then Edit Copy, then I open first movie and hit Edit Paste and when I do this I see my question I had asked about on the forum show up on the top of the Quicktime movie box. I've tried shutting down and restarting but can't save my movie.
Any ideas?
S.

Winston Churchill,
Thanks, to my knowledge I just had Firefox open and was had hit copy and paste and then I could join the two movies together in Quicktime Pro. It drove me nuts and still want to know why it didn't work. I ended up converting them both to .avi format and then was able to join them. Will try again tomorrow to see if it will work the other way.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Can't save internet .mov files

I just recently upgraded to Quicktime Pro for Windows specifically so I could save several .mov files posted on a website as part of a proposal I have to give. Unfortunately, I've tried saving the movies as both source and as Quicktime Movie, and neither actually saves. I have the option to save when I click the down arrow after the movies have loaded, and my PC acts as though it's saving the files when I attempt to save, but then nothing actually shows up in the file destination I've selected. I've tried several times and have nothing to show for it - anyone have any ideas?

Sorry I can't help, I have the same problem. I installed Quicktime Pro, registered, and everything looked ok. Until I tried to save, save as, or export. I can't create any output at all. I edited a .mov file then tried to do a "save as". It appeared to go ok, but no file was created. When I try to do an export, I do get an error message "Error -43: a file could not be found". It never mentions WHICH file could not be found (I suspect the one I was trying to create)! I de-installed and re-installed with no luck. I thought Apple software was supposed to work?!

Can I Save My Movie in a Format that iDVD Doesn't Need to Re-Compress

I am looking to output 3 videos from AfterEffects (or some other app) and I want to save them in a format that iDVD won't compress or convert. In other words, I am hoping I can choose a format that allows iDVD to pretty much just grab my three videos and bundle them all up into single DVD (letting iDVD create menus so the individual videos can be selected through my DVD player). I just don't want iDVD to have to do any transcoding which could degrade the quality.
Or, should I save my movies with absolutely no compression (as in a "None" setting) and let iDVD have its way with them? I just don't want to run my video through 2 codecs.
I am in the U.S. so I need NTSC format. The disc will be standard def, no need for HD or anamorphic widescreen.
I am not finding the answer I need on Google or here, but I am sure it exists out there somewhere! Mostly, I have only found outdated FAQs and iDVDs very simplistic directions. Thank you for your time.

One can import mpeg 2 content into the pro apps / DVDSP /FCS 2 usually without any issues.
However, this is Not the case with iDvd'08.
To quote Sascha Segan of PC magazine:
Pros: Creates beautiful DVDs. Many themes and button styles.
Cons: No support for high-def content; no support for MPEG2 or DivX files.
Bottom Line: iDVD is an effortlessly easy, yet surprisingly, flexible way to create good-looking, standard-def video and photo DVDs.

Apple movie trailers not working

Hi!
I have a problem watching any movie trailers on www.apple.com/trailers page.
If I try to open HD trailer it i get a message that URL is not valid.
If I try to open normal trailer (not HD) I get quicktime logo with question mark and nothing happens.
Anybody else got this problem or there is something wrong with my mac?

That has been discussed ad nauseam in this thread in the Quicktime forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2307414&tstart=0
Seemingly there was a period when Snow Leopard users could not see the movie trailers, but it appears to have been resolved.

Apple Movie Trailers Website not displaying Correctly

Hi, for a few days now when I go to Apples Movie Trailer Website, there's a gap where the trailers should be. Here's a screenshot: http://img198.imageshack.us/i/screenshot20100412at422.png/ Does anyone else notice this?

Hi Stuart,
I just tried the same page. I think it's an Apple glitch, not your Mac. I had to reload the page 3 times for it to work. You aren't missing any of the movie trailers. For whatever reason the thumbnails are just re-arranged.
Just in case... from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Empty cache. Relaunch Safari and see if that helps.

Apple Movie Trailers Compression?

Any guesses on what kind of compression and what kind of server bandwidth produces these wonderful trailers :--) -- c'mon, give the secret.
http://www.apple.com/trailers/lions_gate/w/hd/

It all really depends on your source material. Hollywood productions are very well lit, and are shot on either film, or great quality high definition (progressive). That gives them a huge advantage when it comes to compressing the final result for DVD/Blu-ray/web etc.
Anyway, have a look at this post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7928935#7928935
When testing your settings, remember that you can set in/out points in your sequence in FCP, before exporting, or in Compressor. That way you can do short selections (i.e about 10 secs) of the most challenging parts of your video, for testing purposes.
Good luck!

Why can i not watch movie trailers in QT anymore?

Ever since I upgraded to SL and I go to Yahoo movies and want to watch a movie trailer Real Player opens up and plays. It was always in QT before. I have tried downloading the file too but it will not import. Any suggestions?

To check Safari's plugins go to Safari/Help/Installed Plugins
If Quicktime mappings are incorrect, open up System Preferences/Quicktime/Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
In the next window that opens up make sure that all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
This will show the “hidden” boxes especially the *Video-Quicktime Movie* box. This box will enable you to play movie trailers within your browser.
Click the OK button.
Make sure you have installed the latest versions of Flip4Mac, VLC Media Player, Perian and Adobe Flash Player.
