hello all,
I am in the process of converting my applescript to python thanks to
the fantastic appscript module.
Never again will I have to wrap my head around applescripts
ideosyncracies!!
now I only need to map the two languages, which unfortunately isnt
obviously at all times
the following applescript snippet seems unimplementable in appscript,
to me at least:
=================================================
if (can export movie 1 as DV stream) is true then
try
with timeout of 360 seconds
export movie 1 to POSIX file the_newname as DV stream
using settings the_settings with replacing
end timeout
on error errorMsg number errNo
...
end try
end if
=================================================
can export? with timeout? not sure how to do this in appscript...
also the following:
=================================================
--get number of tracks and kind of movie
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
open the_file
tell movie file_name
set track_count to the count of tracks
set track_kind to the kind of track 1
end tell
end tell
--if movie is muxed mpeg
if (track_count is equal to 1) and (track_kind contains "Muxed") then
.....
=================================================
it is unclear to me how to get to the track_kind property of a movie
are not all properties and functions mapped over to appscript?
also I wonder how you can tell which appscript command takes what
parameters.
I remember the Quark Express discussion a while ago where there was a
astype parameter to the get command: pw.get(astype=k.Char)
and finally, what does the k. in the documentation (and the above get
() call) stand for?
thanks for any insight you might have!
-frank
