First, I figured out the primary reason why none of the SST popups were showing trailers. They required me to download a file from Microsoft to update a license file. And, of course, sceptical of anything that a pop-up asks me to download, I refused the update.

Now, the problem is, I keep my system updated. I am using WMP 10 and XP sp2. So, I can only assume that every surfer that gets to your new pop-ups will also first be required to upgrade their WMP. Which will effectively scare off 99% of the potential clients.

So, my point is, on your test systems, everything probably works fine...but in the real world where everyones' system is not upgraded to the newest and greates, there could be problems.
In your first post you said you got the pitch to buy... If you've viewed a DRM clip before that's exactly how its supposed to work. And as Airek said the reason some go straight to the pitch page, is the lack of trailers on those certain titles. We will soon be giving an option to only link to the movies that have trailers. I don't see how you refused the download if you admit to seeing the pitch page?
