Can anyone tell me internet sites that have good quality Trailers to download that would be suitable to burn to DVD for showing in our foyer.I plan on getting a widescreen plasma TV for this purpose.

There is no such thing. About the highest quality out there is at www.apple.com/trailers but even those have poor resolution.

You would have to approach the distributers for such material - It no doubt exists as I have seen it in operation in various cinemas.

Ian,
My company produces Lobby Preview Program DVDs. We are licensed by the distributors and receive broadcast quality trailers - you can check our website http://www.PreShowProductions.com ; you can choose exactly which trailers you want on your program and order online anytime. As a sidenote, Hawthorne Balmoral Cinemas there in Australia has been a client for many years.

Also try your screen ad company, I know that in NZ both Val Morgan & Adzup do excellent foyer DVDs

Back to the topic, doesn't Cinema Concepts distribute dvd's of trailers to theatres?

Hey Ian over here in Perth we have a video screen and sometimes show trailers on it, the various distributors can offer loop tapes of current and to be released films, they choose the order though. You could use a capture card from a VCR to then burn them to DVD.

Try Ultimate DVD they have a good collection of trailers (not updated very often though) and with most films you can select between Low, Medium , and High quality feeds.
