Hi,

I’ve searched the web and this forum about my issue to no avail. When I view trailers within Front Row, they are not in HD; yet apple has a page where you can download them.

Can I integrate them to make it automatically download the HD versions?

Thank you

Well, had never downloaded one myself, but went and checked it out. Downloaded a couple in 720p. Found 2 places I could then play them in FrontRow. The only one that actually played it in fullscreen (or HD) was under - Video - Video Podcasts; this without moving it from where iTunes places them under Podcasts.

but theres no way to automatically get it when you go to videos > movie trailers in frontrow. I mean, they obviously download from somewhere on the apple website, can i modify the link? IT's driving me crazy, ive searched everywhere and i think that its basically impossible

They are not saved in movie trailers. iTunes saves them in Podcasts. Open Frontrow, go to Video, then Video Podcasts - you will find them there.

Looks to me like Movie Trailers is tied to the iTunes store and when you select one from there it is streamed from iTunes at that time.
