> Question #1: Any ideas why QT will not properly export a movie with this script?
I think the problem may be with this line:
set file_extension to "-lo.mp4"
Unless you're exporting a .mp4 movie, QT will not recognize the file.
In your script, since you planning to export in various formats you'll need to set the extension for each format you export.
To export AVI, for example the file name needs to end with ".avi"

This is how it should work:
start in the user interface and export a file with the exact settings you want. (note the extension QT puts on the file)
Then run this script:
tell application "QuickTime Player 7"
set exportFilePath to choose file name with prompt ¬
"Save current export settings to:"
tell document 1
save export settings to exportFilePath for AVI --with replacing
end tell
end tell
But I can't get that to work.
But, the export command in the dictionary has this: using settings preset --the name of the export settings preset to use
The settings preset name comes from the export dialog in the UI:
export front document to output_file as AVI using settings preset "2x CD-Rom" with replacing
You'll need to modify for each format you're exporting.
