Download HD Trailers from Apple Trailers

Apple movies now 'stream' mov files, they cannot be saved (like they us. for example, if you view the HD movie trailer for the movie "GOOD" - the URL on the page leads to this stream:
http://movies.apple.com/movies/ifc_films/good/good_1080p.mov
Saving link creates a mov file of 75k - not the movie.

In order to download, add the letter 'h' (Hidden) to the movie file name:

wget http://movies.apple.com/movies/ifc_films/good/good_h1080p.mov

HD-Trailers.net has an article on this and a tip for Yahoo HD Movie Trailers - which I've never used...
