If you want to download a movie trailer from movies.apples.com, any user-agent string that starts with QuickTime works. And if you finally manage to inform us what problem you have ("when I run mplayer http://stream.qtv.apple.com..., the video never starts, after ten seconds I see a line 'demux_rtp: Failed to guess the video frame rate'" and mplayer quits), we will in turn inform you that your network setup does not allow (the default) udp connection, you need -rtsp-stream-over-tcp.
