Quicktime export to jpeg for internet use

Hi,

From a .mov i extract 8 frames to images


set this_file to (current_name & "-1.jpg")
			set the target_file to ((TheImagetank as string) & this_file)
			set the chosen_preset to "Photo-JPEG"
			export movie 1 to target_file as picture using settings preset chosen_preset with replacing

As you can i force an extention .jpg. Infact the files are pct files with a photo-jpeg compression. These files won’t open in an browser.
Does anybody knows which settings (chosen_preset) i must just for real jpg files?

When i use the Quicktime Player Script example: Save current frame as JPEG is also won’t work!

tell application "QuickTime Player"
	activate
	
	try
		if not (exists movie 1) then error "No movies are open."
		
		stop every movie
		
		-- CHECK FOR THE CORRECT VERSION
		set QT_version to (QuickTime version as string)
		set player_version to (version as string)
		if (QT_version is less than "5.0") or ¬
			(player_version is less than "5.0") then
			error "This script requires QuickTime 5.0 or greater." & ¬
				return & return & ¬
				"Current QuickTime Version: " & QT_version & return & ¬
				"Current QuickTime Player Version: " & player_version
		end if
		
		-- CHECK FOR QUICKTIME PRO
		if QuickTime Pro installed is false then
			set the target_URL to "http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"
			display dialog "This script requires QuickTime Pro." & return & return & ¬
				"If this computer is currently connected to the Internet, " & ¬
				"click the "Upgrade" button to visit the QuickTime Website at:" & ¬
				return & return & target_URL buttons {"Upgrade", "Cancel"} default button 2
			ignoring application responses
				tell application "Finder"
					open location target_URL
				end tell
			end ignoring
			error number -128
		end if
		
		set the new_file to choose file name with prompt "Name & location for the saved frame:" default name "image.jpg"
		set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":"
		set the new_name to the last text item of (the new_file as string)
		set the destination_folder to ((text items 1 thru -2 of (the new_file as string)) as string) & ":"
		set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
		
		my status_dialog("Extracting the current frame.")
		set the current_time to current time of movie 1
		select none of movie 1
		copy movie 1
		make new movie
		paste movie 1
		
		my status_dialog("Creating temp folder.")
		-- create a unique temp folder
		repeat
			set this_name to (random number from 100000 to 999999) as string
			tell application "Finder"
				if not (exists folder this_name of the desktop) then
					set the temp_folder to (make new folder at desktop with properties {name:this_name}) as alias
					exit repeat
				end if
			end tell
		end repeat
		
		my status_dialog("Exporting frame image as JPEG.")
		set the tempfile_name to "TEMP_IMAGE"
		set the target_file to ((temp_folder as string) & tempfile_name)
		-- export the image as a JPEG
		export movie 1 to file target_file as image sequence using settings preset "JPEG, 25 fps"
		close movie 1 saving no
		
		tell application "Finder"
			--rename the image and move it to the desktop or other folder
			set (the name of the first file of the temp_folder whose name ends with "1.jpg") to the new_name
			move file new_name of the temp_folder to folder destination_folder with replacing
		end tell
		my status_dialog("Deleting the temp files.")
		tell application "Finder"
			-- delete the temp folder and its contents
			delete temp_folder
			empty trash
		end tell
		
		display dialog "Done." buttons {"Show File", "OK"} default button 2
		if the button returned of the result is "Show File" then
			tell application "Finder"
				activate
				reveal the new_file
			end tell
		end if
	on error error_message number error_number
		if the error_number is not -128 then
			beep
			display dialog error_message buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1
		end if
	end try
end tell

on status_dialog(this_message)
	tell application "QuickTime Player"
		activate
		display dialog this_message buttons {"¢"} default button 1 giving up after 2
	end tell
end status_dialog

thanks in advance

Mmm, true, but the settings are the same as the preset name.
I see now how the “Save current frame as JPEG” script works: it makes a copy of the movie, using only 1 frame and the the export to with a setting of an image sequence, but because there is only one frame you get only one image…clever, but as far i i can see it’s a workaround… I mean, why offer a BMP export directly but not a JPEG export? …im confused…
