well, strangely enough, there's been very little response from my other list, but here's what has come back so far: In reply to:
The link on Apple's site is serving up bad files. If you go to http://www.lordoftherings.net you can get the trailer that works.
However, perhaps there's a more systemic problem on their system than QT. Even a totally hosed QT install should do nothing to RealPlayer or Windows Media Player.
you didn't mention the site from which you had downloaded, so maybe both sites are goofy?
not a whole lot of help, I know, but anyway, I'll give more if I get more.

Good object lesson for the possibility of translating a book to film. The movie would have had to have been forty-eleven hours long. The 13 hour BBC I, Claudius series covered about half of the first book and one-tenth of the second.

Well, etaoin, I installed QT on the Netscape/CNN link, but that should be the same AppleŽ site, I'm assuming. The trailer downloads linked to this site (sans required step of QT installation), seem to be the same window as the official LOTR page. One bad AppleŽ spoils the whole bunch, eh?!

yeah, it looks like the download links are the same; the watch live links are different, though, fat lot of good that does us(at least me on my 56k...) anyway, only 16 days left!!

Get a room, already Well, don't worry eta, lemme just 'splain ya a little here...you see: AnnaS is deeply grieved to see the company that creates her beloved Mac showing up so wounded with an Achilles Heel by sending folks bad files in software downloads, and free ones at that! (nice of them, huh?) So I can fully understand AnnaS's distraught reaction. But it just goes to show ya: You can't have your AppleŽ and eat it, too!
