Hello

I will give my two cents.

Here is a slightly modified code using a handler which make no assumption about the available extension.

I know that int this case the original fileName ends with ".AVI" but it may be interesting to have a "more general" handler.


if (count of toConvert) > 0 then tell application "QuickTime Player" repeat with aviURL in toConvert set doc to first item of (open location aviURL) set pathName to (get path of doc) as text set {movPath, movName} to my change_Path_Name(pathName, ".mov") save self contained doc in POSIX file movPath close document movName end repeat end tell end if


on change_Path_Name(p, x) set pa to p as alias tell application "Finder" set f to (get name of pa) as text set e to (get name extension of pa) as text if e = "" then set mp to p & x set mn to f & x else set mp to (text 1 through (-2 - (count of e)) of p) & x set mn to (text 1 through (-2 - (count of e)) of f) & x end if end tell return {mp, mn} end change_Path_Name
