Has anyone tried to watch the large or medium trailer for iRobot from Apple's web site? ( http://www.apple.com/trailers/)
It just sits there. I have tried it in Safari and Internet Explorer, downloading mozilla now to try it in there. Any ideas?

it took a while to start up and download but it works (safari). My guess is the servers are slowed by the relatively large point release of OS X yesterday or something

I guess that could be it, but I downloaded the update really fast, and other movies seem to work with out the delay. Anyone else?

It doesn't stream for some reason - may be hinted wrong. It downloads the whole thing and then starts playing.

The movie isn't designed to stream, it's called Fast Start downloading. The movie should begin playing when it feels it has enough information downloaded that you will be able to watch the whole thing without stopping. Sometimes Fast Start is flaky though, and as you noticed will wait until the whole thing is done.
