Some functions:
This one would only work on the Mac and would have to use the MovieInfo
external (probably get round the need for the MoviePath external):
function getMovieRate TheFile
-- ask user for a movie file; return MovieInfo and file path
get MoviePath(TheFile)
if it is not empty then
put it into TheMoviePath
put MovieInfo(TheMoviePath) into TheMovieInfo
if TheMovieInfo is not empty then
return line 3 of TheMovieInfo
end if
end if
return empty
end getMovieRate
function HMSTToTicks TheHMST
put the itemDelimiter into NonStdItemDelim
put 0 into TimeInMovieTicks
set itemDelimiter to comma
repeat with ItemNum = 1 to the number of items in TheHMST
multiply TimeInMovieTicks by 60
add item ItemNum of TheHMST to TimeInMovieTicks
end repeat
set itemDelimiter to NonStdItemDelim
return TimeInMovieTicks
end HMSTToTicks
function ticksToHMST TheTicks
put empty into TheHMST
repeat with K = 1 to 3
put TheTicks MOD 60 before theHMST
put TheTicks DIV 60 into TheTicks
if TheTicks > 0 then put "," before theHMST
else exit repeat
end repeat
if TheTicks > 0 then put TheTicks before theHMST
return theHMST
end ticksToHMST
