Avoid Quicktime like the plague
Seriously? In this age of the modern web, with everyone trying to drive towards open standards, open file formats etc., you guys post movie trailers as Apple Quicktime files?
Quicktime on Windows is banned from ALL our machines as it's well known to have more holes, vulnerabilities and performance/stability issues than Adobe Flash. And that's saying something.
Wake up and smell the coffee - PLEASE re-encode in H.264 and support HTML5. It's time to end this proprietary codec madness.

What's so hard about right clicking the trailer and saying "save as" and playing in VLC? No quicktime is needed.

We already support HTML5 on Chrome and Safari. Firefox doesn't have H.264 support yet and despite IE claiming to have HTML5 support for H.264, we've never gotten it to work. In that case we fall back to Flash, and if you don't have Flash installed, we fallback to QuickTime.

You can read our tutorial on how you can use spoof your browser so you don't have to use the QuickTime player:
