Has anybody managed to rip it to their PC yet?

Hi guys.
I didn't notice anyone answering this so here's one way to save the trailer to your PC. You need ASFRecorder to do this. It's a free software that can be found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/asfrecorder/.
Once you have downloaded the zip, extract it to a directory of your choice. There's no other installing involved. Then just run asfrecorder.exe to start the software and click file/open url. Now you need to know the url of the trailer. Unfortunately the standard videodetective url won't work since it points to the html-page which has the trailer rather than the actual asf-file.
But no worries. If you check the source of the page (View/Source on IE), you'll see a url pointing to a videopipeline-server. It's a popular server that has streaming media. DVD Empire and lots of other places use it's services to link trailers.
So just copy and paste that address to asfrecorder and it should begin downloading and saving it. It will save as an asf-file so Windows Media Player will play it.
Here are the cool parts: Once you have ripped the trailer to your PC, there are no more freezes etc. that a slower connection causes. And not only that, even modem-users can get the 300k version of the trailer.
By the way, here's the url I used to get the trailer:
http://www.videopipeline.net/player...hedid=973760&videokbrate=300&customerid=14817
That's the 300k-version as the url says. So just download asfrecorder, run it, choose file and open url and paste that url. It should work.
On a related note, I liked this trailer and I have a good feeling about this movie. I haven't really liked director Oblowitz's work in the past and The Foreigner was pretty lousy in my opinion, but isn't this actually the first film to be released by Seagal's new Luminosity company? Maybe that means he has more control over the end product. So it could and should be fun.
Hope this helps
