Serenity the Trailer: Now in Jumbo Size!
With Apple's new version of Quicktime comes a shiny new version of the Serenity trailer. Beware 108 MB download. Seems like it's for Mac users only, until Quicktime update for Windows becomes available.
Now you can see Nathan Fillion's nosehairs up close and personal!

Unfortunately, it looks like the H.264 codec requires some heavy-duty processing power. My iBook has a 1.07Ghz G4 with 768MB-- and still can't decode the trailer fast enough to output it smoothly. It's like one frame every second. Perhaps it will be better under the new Mac OS release "Tiger."
VLC does attempt to play it, but chokes on it and crashes on both my Mac and PC. I've yet to find an available H.264 for Windows that can handle it.
Anyone have better luck?

Oh, it plays on VLC for windows huh? That's pretty cool... I guess.
By the way, even mac users should fetch VLC (http://videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html). It's a groovy media player that will play mostly everything.
Then you got mplayer for OS X (http://mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/). It plays stuff too.
It's good to have both of these programs available. They play WM* files and all sorts of other stuff that quicktime doesn't play (.ogm for example)
EDIT:
OOOO yeah, tiger today, thanks for reminding me SaveAngel

zeitgeist are you guessing or know for sure from playing it yourself on windows? Because my vlc will not play it 8.0 or 8.1 and I have three kinds of h.264 codecs installed... I can tell you what to do to help if you are actually playing it on windows...
TaraLivesOn | April 29, 14:50 CET
Edit -- Odd, I played it twice earlier today and now it crashes VLC every time. Will tinker and see what I come up with.

I've been thinking the same thing for the past couple of days! It's kind of like revenge! ;-)
BTW: We saw Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy today, and there was no trailer for Serenity before it (as has been rumored on various message boards).

Really, I wouldn't mess with everyone's head like that.
But it's not pretty - ugly slow on this 3ghz athlon XP.
Only suitable for really patient people wanting to do hires screencaps. I will have to tinker with it, or export it to another format.
For those that know what they are doing and want to try it themselves, I used a windows port of Mplayer which can seperate the h.264 and aac streams and then decode them and playback. But it's too slow for now. See bottom of the page here for files and codecs: http://csant.info/mplayer
They are using ffdshow's h.264 implementation which is not the best.
It may explain how one or two other people were reporting it running on windows - they must be using a very beta ffdshow build (guessing).
I've got to go do real work now, but this will at least get some screenshots for some windows folks.

If God had meant us to have stable computers He wouldn't have given us Ctrl: Alt: Del:
Willow DID have a Mac, but look what happened with Morloch! If she'd had a PC he would have crashed long before he could have tried to take over the world!

More hi-def screencaps now available on the Flickr annex.

I will grant you that I am far less interested in the topic of the quality of Apple hardware, and far more interested in Apple software and that Apple seems to be able to bring to market OS features years ahead of Microsoft and actually manage to make old hardware run faster with new versions. So it'll come to no surprise that I have very little concern about blown capacitors or fans that occur in less than 1% of Macs.

If you love your PC, that's great. But let me love my Mac without bashing me. Heck, you PC folks are part of, what, 95% of the world? Why bother with us little ol' Mac people? Luxuriate in your world domination!
