It actually depends on the trailer you try.

in karmic , the user-agent trick made most of them work. But now Apple
added onother check on reported QT version through javascript. however
the Totem QT plugin  is well made so it reports a recent version. So it
should work ..

Here is one example that don't work and thus might check for plugin
version http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/fox/theateam/

i really don't see why apple do all this crap detection ... ( a bit like
france2.fr ..) Maybe they want to force windows user to install Ithunes
even if they had for exemple a working plugin such as VLC.

I don't see why we should spend too much time debugging/mimicing their
Quicktime/website crap ....

Rotten apple ...
