Well then welcome, you’re going to have a lot of fun. And by fun I of course mean the kind you get by trying things over and over again until they work.
This should do the trick ;) I’m using QT7, but it should work in earlier versions.
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
repeat with the_file in these_items
set old_name to name of (info for the_file)
set short_name to items 1 thru -4 of old_name as text --this line is a bit of magic to get a file name without an extension (providing there is an extension and it’s three character long...mmhh kinda dodgy, but does the trick most times)
tell application "Finder" to set new_file to (container of the_file as text) & short_name & "_converted.aiff" as string
tell application "QuickTime Player"
open the_file
if (can export movie 1 as AIFF = true) then
export movie 1 to new_file as AIFF with replacing
end if
close movie 1
end tell
end repeat
end adding folder items to
