<div style='font: 10pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>God, this propritary "shareware" shit only fucking pisses me off. Just put it in MPEG for chrissake! Both of those formats SUCK HARD because....

1) They require specific software to play them

2) Their are no decent hacks for Real Player

3) Quicktime has some association with Macintosh

4) .MPEG is pretty much universal and then people would have so many fucking problems trying to watch the damn thing and trouble shoot peice of shit software applications that they are going to use maybe once just to watch, of all things, a MOVIE TRAILER!

Now, this rant is over. Flame on.</div>
