Hello,
I am currently working on an applescript automator action which aims at
exporting .mov movies to .3gp movies using 2 kinds of video encodings :
h.263 and mpeg-4.
As far as I know, the function save export settings described in the
Quicktime dictionnary lets the user save the last quicktime export
settings as described in this document :
http://lists.apple.com/archives/QuickTime-Users/2002/Nov/msg00297.html
However, I cannot export movies using h.263 video encoding when using a
file created with save export settings. Instead, I get a movie where
video seems to be encoded in mpeg-4 format. But, if I choose to export
the .mov file with the most recent settings, I get the desired file
(with h.263 video).
My questions are :
- is the method described in the doc above still apropriate to save
custom settings ?
- if it is, can you save ThreeGPP with customs settings where video
encoding is h.263 (I expect you can) ?
- eventually, if someone has an export settings file in which video
encoding is set to h263 (and is sure of that), could he / she send it to
me ?
I would be grateful if someone could help me.
Here are pieces of source code I am currently using :
-- save QT settings
tell application "QuickTime Player"
tell first movie
save export settings for ThreeGPP to file "Macintosh
HD:Users:benoitcantin:Documents:settings:h263.set"
end tell
end tell
-- export
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
set settingspath_h263 to
"/Users/benoitcantin/Documents/settings/h263.set"
set targetFolder to (path to temporary items from user domain as string)
set pathname to targetFolder & "test.3gp"
end tell
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
stop every movie
delay 2
tell first movie
export to pathname as ThreeGPP using settings settingspath_h263
end tell
end tell
return input
end run
