Re: Export to DivX with QuickTime

The problem is, the movies are in a number of different formats, which could create problems with many of the command line tools available. I know there are apps out there which can do this for me, but I'm just wondering if it's possible to export using third-party codecs via AppleScript. Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure how to do this using QuickTime player because, as you said, it doesn't seem to support 3rd party codecs easily in AppleScript. What are you attempting to create DivX files from? There are a lot of free alternatives to QuickTime player for accomplishing this task. If you let us know exactly what it is you are converting then maybe we can come up with an alternative.

I'm trying to script batch exporting files to DivX. I'm using OS X 10.3.3 & QT Player 6.5.1. I've gotten the script written, but can't figure out how to tell QT to use the DivX codec. Built-in codecs ("avi", Mpeg4, Aiff, etc.) are recognized as keywords, but user-installed codecs aren't. Here's what I'm working with.

export currentMovie to (file (convertedPath & newName & ".avi")) as AVI using most recent settings

Any help on substituting DivX for AVI is much appreciated.
