I fiddled around with this using QuickTime Player under Mt. Lion, and I can get everything to work except saving the silly file when it finishes recording.

What I have so far.

tell application "QuickTime Player"
stop every document
close every window
start (new screen recording)
delay (5)
stop document "Screen Recording" --At this point I have an open movie window waiting to be saved
save document 1 in file "Oink/Users/J/Desktop/Mmov.mov" as "MooV" --I'm getting Borked here! Tried several variations w/o getting any sugar
end tell
>>error "QuickTime Player got an error: document 1 doesn’t understand the save message." number -1708 from document 1

Any thoughts?

Wondering why I have no cursor in Mail just now.

I used to use a script to use the macs in a classroom to work out who was getting into the room at times it should be locked.  This script is very old, however.

tell application "Finder"
set myfile to "Security.mov" -- you need to put your location here
end tell

tell application "QuickTime Player"
stop every document
close every window
new movie recording
start first record
delay (12)
stop first record
stop every document
close document 1 saving in myfile with replacing
end tell

Goal: I want to screen record using Automator for X length of time, then save it to APPLE TV2 generation format in a folder called podcast. Then delete the original one.

Right now I am doing manually that means-

Starting Apple quick tome for screen recording
Manually set my i phone to timer for the length of time
Comeback and manual stop recording
Saving it o Apple TV 2 format and then delta original one

I have some experience with Automator but not Apple script.
I tried to use Automator. But no success


Appreciate any help. I searched this list to see wether it has been answered> But I didn't find any.

I use latest iMac and Maverick

Thx
