First, for Snow Leopard, it's the QuickTime Player 7 app's preferences, since
that's not a setting for QuickTime Player X. Second, the setting for this in SL
is stored in the current user's
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist file as the key:
CapturePreferenceDefaultSaveToLocation set to the value
/Users/"username"/Desktop as string. Third, it might be possible to use the
Unix defaults write command to change the key's string value to another
location in conjunction with the AppleScript do shell script command. Details
are left as an exercise.
