21 Apple's server doesn't allow access to the actual movies (if you try to
22 open the URL to the real *.mov file, you get redirected to some movie
23 ads page). I guess it checks for the QuickTime player's user agent.

25 So I can't try to test if those *.mov files play OK here since I can't
26 even get to them.
