Getting an OS X script to work in OS9

#1

I am trying to write an applescript which will export a quicktime movie in the available export options on classic SSW using Applescript 1.8.3 which is installed with the system and quicktime player v6.

I am using the following code:

tell application “Quicktime Player”
set destinationpath to “BootVol:ExportFiles:dummyfile”
export movie “AlienSong.mpeg” to destinationpath as BMP
end tell

I am getting the following error:
Applescript Error: QuickTime Player got an error: Can’t make some data into the expected type

This works fine for me on OS X system software. The problem is getting it to work on OS 9.

Does this work?

set destinationpath to "BootVol:ExportFiles:dummyfile"

tell application "QuickTime Player"
	export movie "AlienSong.mpeg" to alias destinationpath as BMP
end tell
