Anyone else care to pick up this torch and run with it? It would be nice to get this working again. I noticed that when I run the program I get the cover art for the movies, but not the link. I dug into the source code a little and noticed that the web page that contains the actual movie link is now protected. I get a HTTP 403 error - Forbidden
http://www.apple.com/moviesxml/g/drama_1.xml is an example.
I also noticed in the helper.cs of the source code there is a reference to a specific version of iTunes. Could it be as simple as changing that reference to the current version and recompiling? Just some late night thoughts from a non-programmer.

As an alternative to this now defunct utility, Dave's Trailer Page is a very good resourcehttp://www.davestrailerpage.co.uk/. It has direct links to many trailers. If someone can write a script to convert his http data into XL database, it would be awesome !

Has anybody tested dgemily's trailer download script with apple movie trailer utility v2.0? and more importantly got it to work?

Cause what im experiencing is behavior which seems to be otherwise correct, but generated mov files lack the content (are about 100 bytes)...
