As Defaults has limitations, I don't think it will do the job. I
already tried that some 12 hours ago. I can only read the path
without being able to edit it.
Thanks.

If you open QuickTime's Preferences, changing the tab to Recording,
you have 'Save files to.' I wonder if it's possible to change this
export path with AppleScript? Something like the posix path of "/
Users/JThorton/Desktop/"? If I look under QuickTime Player's
Dictionary, I don't find anything that is related to it.
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.
