How does Front Row know what size of trailer to download?

Hi there.

Just a quick question. I know from Apple's own website that there are multiple version of movie trailers, SD and HD for example.

When I watch them on my iBook from the trailer menu in Front Row, I'm pretty sure I'm watching the SD version...

But say if I were to do it on a MBP, would Front Row autodetect that the machine can handle HD video, and get that version instead?

I believe it's QuickTime that determines your connection speed and then delivers the optimal size for your connection.

Yea I was wondering the same thing. I was wondering if there is any way to set Front row to prioritize HD content if there are any, because all I'm seeing are SD trailers.

Oh well, at least they load pretty damned fast.

I was also wondering the same thing. Is there a way to change the settings of Front Row to always load the highest quality trailer possible?
