I'm unfamiliar with the format too, since you did not specify what the format is.

do you want to tell us, or should we guess?

I am not asking you to GUESS that is why i sent the link to the site. where i go here it is again. if you know how to save them and convert them let me know.

Looks like a WMV(Windows Media Viewer?) streaming video file.

Try searching for information about capturing streaming video and the like.

Or perhaps a program that captures video displayed on screen to an AVI file to work with.

install the software then
1. Right click on the player window (the one that opens up displaying the trailer)
2. Click properties
3. Copy the URL
4. Paste it in the Program
5. Click go!
