With the upcoming version of Snow Leopard, I thought that Apple might have add the possibility to watch HD movie trailers on Front Row, but till now there is no rumors about that.
So I’ve google for that possibility and I’ve found the solution ‘Front Row Trailers.prefPane’, it’s installed on System Preferences and allows to choose the Front Row’s Trailers source, the sort type and to watch trailers in HD (720p is the maximum for now).
I recommend you to open your terminal and run this command. This will stop asking your password to change one by one definition on this prefPane.
sudo chmod o+w /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BackRow.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Trailers.plist
After configure this preference you can launch Front Row and go to Movie Trailers and you’ll see HD Trailers Folder.

Please don’t mirror the pref pane on your site.
Hi, so what are you suggesting? to download directly from your site?
I’ll make that… if is that what you want…
sorry for any inconvenience…
Thanks for updating the download link.
Without installing anything!:
Open Terminal en fill in the next command:
defaults write com.apple.frontrow EnableHDMovieTrailers TRUE
killall FrontRow
Start Frontrow again, click “Movies >> Theatrical Trailers” and than, the new option: “HD Trailers”.
Enjoy! =D
