I've never wanted to make an auto-run CD, so I don't know the details. But
I suspect you can skip the script and set up an auto-run CD which will deal
with starting the movie.
That said, you should be aware than any sensible Mac owner has CD-ROM
AutoPlay turned off (in QuickTime[tm] Settings in modern installations).
Two checkboxes in the AutoPlay pane in that control panel...Enable Audio CD
AutoPlay (not too dangerous yet) and Enable CD-ROM AutoPlay (which Apple
foolishly didn't restrict to CD-ROMs), which was exploited by a nasty worm
shortly after Apple made the mistake of releasing it. I'm not sure where
the choice is made in Mac OS X.
