HD video examples?

Have been using the microsoft HD content showcase to check out HD video, but ideally I'd like to see the same DVD quality video alongside. So, can anyone point me in the direction of a download of something such as the Alexander trailer (or anything else on the HD showcase site) in what equates to DVD quality? Been looking through the IMDB links but they all either open in a browser (rather than being direct download) and/or are of not-overly-great quality.

cheers.

apple.com/trailers
it won't let me do this url for some reason but use the below with no spaces and replace the word "dot" with a full stop:
hd clips dot net (this has a HDV 720p Vs PAL 720x576 video)

Cheers for the links, exactly what I was after. I wouldn't be assuming anything stupid by making my comparisons beween the "large" trailer (ie. not 480p/720p/1080p) and 720p would I?
