It works for me with QuickTime Player 7.1.3, but not with the earlier
version on my other computer. The obvious problem in that case is that
your full specification for 'myfile' is just "Security.mov", without any
mention of the path or the fact that it's a file.
On the machine where it does work, the file appears at the root of the
startup disk. Assuming that's what you want, you could try coding your
script like this:
set myfile to (path to startup disk as Unicode text) & "Security.mov"
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
new movie recording
start first recording
delay (1200)
stop first recording
stop every movie
close movie 1 saving in file myfile
end tell
I don't know if this will work on _your_ other machines, but it's more
likely to.
