Quicktime question

Hi All,

i'm new to applescript, and am trying to create a script for a web application that will:

1) convert all files that get uploaded to a directory to hinted, self-contained qt movies (using qt pro)
2) deposit the converted files to a different directory.

here's what i've got so far:

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items

    tell application "Finder"      
        if not (exists folder "Done" of this_folder) then          
            make new folder at this_folder with properties {name:"Done"}          
        end if      
        set the destination_folder to folder "Done" of this_folder as alias         
    end tell
  
    repeat with i from 1 to number of items in these_items
        set this_item to item i of these_items     
        set the item_info to info for this_item
        set file_name to the name of the item_info
      
        if the name extension of item_info is in {"mp3", "wav"} then    
            tell application "QuickTime Player"
                launch              
                display dialog destination_folder & file_name              
                export item_info to (destination_folder & file_name) as "QuickTime hinted movie"              
            end tell          
        end if
              
    end repeat
end adding folder items to


This executes correctly when something is dropped in the folder, but does not handle the conversion.

Thanks for any help!

-David
