Nice-looking video clips. I'm impressed. They need a lot of CPU power,
though: my poor little Athlon64 3400+ can't quite play the 1920x1080
"BBC Motion Gallery Reel" in realtime:

...though it can manage the 1920x816 Serenity trailer:

Offhand, do you know any way to download the clips that don't have a
direct-download link? Consider this page, for example:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/hdgallery/wildlifehdreel.html

It has an embedded mov file:
http://images.apple.com/movies/us/hd_gallery/gl1800/wildlife_ctp_328x185.mov

...which is 11725 bytes. I'm guessing it's a reference file of some
sort, but it's not plain-text like I would expect a reference file to be.
