Has anyone figured out the syntax to use the new "Movie to iPod

other exporters) with no success. Any luck?
There has to be explicit terminology in the dictionary for each export
type. Evidently they forgot to add it. Nice catch. Please report it as
a
bug.
That's what I figured... will report it tonight.
Given that this is an Apple exporter you might be able to find a raw
code
for the type, however...
Had hoped... not sure where to look.
I am not sure if it's possible for 3rd party quicktime export
components
to add enumeration terminology to the dictionary for the export type.
I'm
not even sure if that is all that is needed.
Maybe Chris Nebel can answer that?
Certainly no 3rd party components do this at present, so if you were
hoping to script an export using (say) the LAME mp3 component, you're
out
of luck.
Nah, I'd do lame via shell scripting instead. Point taken though...
Oh, and did you catch Ken Rhodes' post on the QuickTime Users list
about
exporting as QuickTime Movie with ipod-friendly settings. In case you
missed it:
... and exporting to MPEG-4 is certainly scriptable. Good luck!
Thanks Brennan - while I had explored just using the MPEG-4 exporter I
did a quick test and I must have gotten a setting wrong as while iTunes
recognized it, it won't sync to my iPod so I figured there was
something specially baked into the files (besides the filename) when
using the iPod exporter - obviously not true!
In this case, I'll just use the MPEG-4 exporter, awesome!
FWIW, I shoot Quicktime VR and want to use the new iPod as a portable
gallery for linear video versions of my QTVR panoramas. I wrote a tool
the other night to generate custom videos using a QTVR and optionally a
motion path, export high-quality frames from QT, build a video, etc.
Took me an hour to do all the meaty stuff... but then I got stuck on
the last step, simply picking the right exporter! And I'm not thrilled
about, nor experienced with, UI Scripting, so I put it on pause until I
could do it right. Thanks a bunch.
