Hi Everybody,

I'm not sure if this is the right thread, or if I'm even allowed to ask this, but here goes.

Q: Can I download the latest Apple commercials anywhere? I'm asking because when visiting an Apple store last week they had the new iPod Nano commercials playing on the Macs, acting as screensavers.

As you can imagine, they looked stunning. I'd like to replicate on my Mac.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance, and apologies if this is the wrong thread!

If you have QuickTime Pro (upgrade from just the free QuickTime) you can just right click on the movie and save as a .mov file...

OK... so will it work even though the commercials are embedded on the apple site?

Yup if you have QuickTime Pro it will work.
Enjoy watching them all. The commercials are just great! :)

Not sure if you have something but there's a screensaver module that will allow you to actually USE .mov files once you get them.

See, I'd prefer to do this because it involves less money than Quicktime Pro. I will upgrade to Pro if there's no other option, but woud love it if someone could inform me of a site where the commercials were available to download HQ?

Sorry to be a pain everyone...

you can find the movie in Safari's Activity Monitor and just alt-click that to download it
if that doesn't work, look in the source code of the website

Awesome, thanks. I'll give it a go when I get home from work.
