In the tiger movie the guy is watching the Fantastic Four in H264... is this the format of all the trailers now? Where can I find some clips to show off this codec?

I tried watching one of the videos from there on my 12" PB (1Ghz, 512Mb RAM). It was pretty much unwatchable. I was very impressed with the Tiger seminar though, it streamed perfectly and looked great. At the moment I'm more interested in H.264 for streaming things like the seminar, or for providing movie trailers at a similar resolution to what we get now, but at a much better data rate. Doesn't seem to be much of that about at the moment though. Presumably the WWDC keynote will be streamed in H.264?

it plays beautifully on my lowly Mini 1.2Ghz with 512MB RAM so I'm not sure what might be causing the trouble others are having. I've got Mail, iChat, Safari and a couple other things running too.
I'm really really impressed with these clips. they look amazing.

When you say it plays beautifully, are you sure its not just dropping frames ? There is a setting in the Quicktime View menu to "Play all frames". When I select that, the video begins to drag pretty badly. When its off, it plays more smoothly but I'm guessing I'm only seeing 15 or 20 fps .
My specs. eMac 1.25 w/1.5gb ram.
However, I will say 2 things. The HD video is impressively clear. The H.264 codec is nice but still doesn't compare to 3ivx for compression --in my tests, a reduction of one of those HD movies at "best" quality resulted in a 36mb - 40mb file with h.264 (single pass and dual pass) and a 10 - 13mb file (dual-pass, single pass) with 3ivx.
