I noticed lately when I play Yahoo! HD movie trailers in my browser, there’s been no sound and it always turns out to be that the volume is set to the lowest. I thought I might’ve accidentally lowered the volume, but if I increase the volume and reload that trailer, the volume goes all the way back down again. I then went ahead and tried an Apple HD movie trailer and they don’t have this problem. If you’re downloading the trailer, it doesn’t have this problem as your application most likely retains its settings, but for some reason if you use the Quicktime player in your browser, their trailer is able to control your volume setting.
I’ve verified this is the case on Firefox and when I tried it on IE7, the same thing occurred. So if you’re trying to watch a Yahoo! HD movie trailer in you browser and you get no sound, just go check the volume control as that’s very likely to have been lowered to no sound.
I was browsing some threads over at AVForums checking up on some referrals that were linking to my site and I found out about this interesting application called: PS3 Video 9. It turns out you can use PS3 Video 9 and convert these HD trailers into .mp4 format which you can then use to play back on your PS3. Assuming you have a nice TV and a PS3, but no HTPC (Home Theater PC) hooked up to it, this is a easy workaround to play these nice high-def trailers on your TV.
