About the site
This site began life way back when the now infamous World Trade Center Spider-Man teaser was released on the Apple website. Trying to provide a direct link to patrons of The DVD Forums I gave up trying to post the lengthy Apple urls via the bulletin software in use at the time and set up an incredibly basic page (it would make the current site look like a dozen people ran it) on my personal ISP web space. This proved to be very popular so I eventually began updating the list of trailers each time Apple posted something of interest, and as they say, the rest is history...
...a server move, url change, and complete eradication of the teaser that started it all, and roughly four years online the site has grown and is still going strong. I have also purposely kept it basic, for both personal and professional reasons.
About the owner
Dave's Trailer Page is run by Dave, someone who is passionate about film but too lazy to think of a better name. Living in the UK he sometimes misses the big updates because those inconsiderate folk at Apple, Yahoo and the like often work while he is in bed getting some much needed sleep. You might know Dave through the DVDForums where he posts under the alias of kanedaa ("it's stuck with me since I first got online as a young teen"). You may also know him through his continued work as Editor on DVDTimes.
How to use the site
For the most part simply right click any of the direct links and choose 'save as', then select a location on your Hard Drive to download the trailer. Alternatively you can choose 'copy shortcut' and paste the link into your favourite Download Manager.
