Append QT movies without adding tracks

Ok, so this is really a QT question, because it applies when manually doing this in QT Player, but I'm trying to figure it out in an Applescript and hopefully someone here may have the key.

I have an applescript that successfully concatenates several QT movies (each ProRes with 8 audio and one Timecode track, all the same size/framerate). I do this with the typical commands:

tell document 1
rewind
select all
copy
select none
close
end tell


make new document


tell document 1
paste
end tell


open promoVideo


tell document 1
rewind
select all
copy
select none
close
end tell


tell document 1
paste
end tell


etc...

Now, with a bunch of movies seemingly with the same atoms (checking with both Properties and JES Extensifier) sometimes I get an output with all tracks appended (so the output movie only has one video and 8 audio tracks) and sometimes I get the tracks stacked (so that there is a separate audio track set and video track for each paste).

Does anyone recognize this behavior and know how to ensure that video track 1 is pasted into the end of video track 1 and not at that position but in its own video track 2 and so forth?

Thanks in advance

Steve
