Introduction

This script creates a nice looking, fixed container at the bottom-right corner of the window, with direct links to the Apple trailers in 480p, 720p and 1080p resolution. It will open the 1080p panel by default. The box also features adaptive coloring. It uses the titles and order designated by Apple for the links.

Requirements

You will need something like UAControl to set the user agent string so that you can actually download the trailer. I'm using QuickTime/7.7 for trailers.apple.com. Without this user agent string clicking on any link provided by this script will have no effect apart from redirecting you to Apple's trailer page.

Notes

Credits go to JC2k8, zatic and mirzmaster.

If you'd rather open 480p/720p by default, change the settings by clicking on the side panel title or the GreaseMonkey/Tampermonkey menu item.

You can copy the direct links to the movie files to the clipboard by right-clicking on one of the format headers (480p, 720p or 1080p). This feature is not supported in all script engines.
