Download movie trailers in HD for free

HD-Trailers is a site that came across my radar the other day as I continued my quest for the perfect 10-foot UI experience via XBMC Media Center. Utilizing the Aeon Stark theme atop XBMC provides a fantastic experience and presentation to my media content. I am very particular with my media; everything is fully tagged and sorted. TV Shows are organized by show and then season, and every movie video has an associated high-resolution poster which is then, in turn, used throughout the media center theme.  Aeon Stark provides the ability to play a movie trailer associated with whatever movie you are currently browsing in your collection. Unfortunately, one of the few things XBMC does not do for you automatically is actually acquiring the trailer.

HD-Trailers is a portal site that allows you to browse and search for trailers and teasers for new and old movies alike. If you are a movie buff and enjoy high quality trailers you are probably already aware that Apple hosts a good deal of them off their Quicktime Movie section. However, it’s not the easiest site to navigate or even download the trailers when you find them. HD-Trailers provides that interface however, both to Apple and Yahoo’s websites.

Once the movie you are looking for is found, you are provided the option to download the trailer in 480/720/1080p as well as formats compatible with the iPod and PS3. Best of all, this is all free without any registration necessary. The site merely provides a collection of links to trailer locations elsewhere on the Internet.

With HD-Trailers I can continue to feed my OCD over my media content with full high-def trailers!
