[Pythonmac-SIG] appscript with Quicktime - "Connection is invalid' error

[Sean DiZazzo]

Let me first say thank you.  This is my first time playing with appscript,
and it has been a joy to work with.  It took me about a half hour of
figuring out a few commands that I was trying to do.  Then, all of a sudden,
I was writing it almost as if I had known it for years.  It scared me a bit
at first, but once I got started, it became very intuitive.
I'm doing some work with quicktime, and I'm getting an error (-609,
"Connection is invalid") when trying to save a large movie as self
contained.  The error is a bit inconsistent, and actually came up as a
different error once so far. (-1708, "Application could not handle this
command")  It seems as if the movie is written to the destination as I
expect sometimes,  but other times it isn't.

The save_self_contained() process takes about 5 minutes, and there is no
"timeout" arg to save_self_contained() like there is for export().  Could
this be the problem?  Is there a way to force a timeout using
save_self_contained() ??

I've got
'appscript-0.19.0-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg' on 10.5.6 with default
apple python
2.5.1.

Thanks in advance,

~Sean D
