It pains me to say this, but thanks man.
I didn't see that other thread either, and now have a couple dozen large videos on my HD. Sweet. Thanks for the clearer instructions too, Paul. |

if yer a lazy bastard like me, use this:
Code:
set originalFile to do shell script "lsof -wa -Fn -c iTunes +D /tmp | grep -i QTP | head -1 | cut -c 2-"
if length of originalFile is greater than 0 then
set newFile to POSIX path of (choose file name default name "iTunes Video.mov")
if length of newFile is greater than 0 then
if newFile does not end with ".mov" then set newFile to newFile & ".mov"
do shell script "/bin/cp -v '" & originalFile & "' '" & newFile & "'"
do shell script "/Developer/Tools/ttt -t 'MooV' -c 'TVOD' '" & newFile & "' || true"
end if
else
display dialog "No movie found. Please make sure that the movie is currently visible in iTunes." buttons {"OK"} default button "OK"
end if save as applescript app, run after the movie has completely loaded into itunes. |
