Try something like this:
set sizeCheck to -1
repeat
tell application "System Events"
set mySize to physical size of alias name_of_mov_file
if mySize = sizeCheck then
exit repeat
else
set sizeCheck to mySize
delay 2
end if
end tell
end repeat
tell application "iTunes"
add (name_of_mov_file as alias)
end tell
