iTunes Movie Trailers App Updated for iPad Retina Display

It's not Apple it's the movie studios.

EDIT: Just tried to download the app. Not available in the UK. Pity.

yeah this is stupid, I can watch trailers on my Apple TV, I can go to trailers.apple.com and watch and download them, but I'm not allowed the Trailers App outside the US?

What does it have that we're not allowed to see in the UK or anywhere else in the world for that matter?

I exported the raw of the trailers from the app through hdmi.

I tested 12 different trailers from all over the app.

All are 1080p high profile .264 5.1 with a bit rate of 4-7Mb/sec

The only difference I can find between the app and the downloadable trailers on apple's site is a rather large color adjustment. Not saying one is better than the other, but there is consistently a difference.

To confirm, they are all 1080p and the same quality as any other Apple trailer online/Apple TV 3 etc.

Trailers for what? There's hardly any decent HD movies on iTunes anyway. 720p or 1080p. I've just started buying BluRay disks again coz the HD content available on iTunes is so limited.

Considering the example in the post is for Brave, the answer obviously isn't "just iTunes movies". It's all movies.

It is great that there are these showcase apps for the new iPad, but it would have been nice if developers had been given more time with the new tools before launch. Thee would have been a lot more apps ready for the device.

It doesn't look like its streaming properly. The graphics and artwork look amazing, and the trailers look incredible for ~5seconds -- then the screen flickers to black and it switches over to a very low quality stream. I tried 8 trailers and they all did the exact same thing.

I'm on my home WIFI, and speed shows I'm getting 21mbps down right now, So I dont think that is the problem.

That *is* the problem. Same thing happened to me, you can watch what happens - watch the bar showing where the play is at, you can see it buffer ahead, and then eat that buffer, and then it switches. You can turn that off and make it pause to buffer instead, the settings are in the general iPad Settings app.

I don't understand what you're saying.

The article states that they have updated the "iTunes Movie Trailers App".

What he's saying is, Pixar's "Brave" is a movie coming out this summer in theaters, it is not on iTunes. So the fact that this article is showing a screenshot of the new app showing a movie that's not on iTunes, means it's not an app just for showing movies that are available in HD on iTunes, but all movie trailers.

I don't know what it is about this app, but when I load it up, I can't stop watching stuff.

The app runs just fine outside the US. I am using it in Canada. Maybe your complaint is the App isn't on the UK store? Just open a US itunes account.

Great idea, i'll create a whole new account, repurchase every one of my apps, so i can download a trailers app.

my point was that i can view these trailers on apples site, and my apple tv using my UK account, i just don't understand why they don't make this app available to us too? I'm not that fussed about getting it, i just find it odd.

Look, I agree it is annoying. I think Apple should have international Apple ID and make their own Apps work in every country, I was just recommending a way to get the app. You do realize you can have apps installed from multiple different IDs right? I have Canadian and US apps on my ipad and iphone. So there is no need to repurchase all your apps if you create an account and add a few US store Apps to your device. When updates come in, you will be prompted for the password and updates will go smoothly even if you log back int your original account and its apps.

Still not available in Germany. What the F Apple !? :(
