Applescript and QT

Hi. I'm looking for a script that would allow me to launch QT, open a new video recording window, start recording, stop recording after 2h and save the movie on the desktop. Could you help me?

Thx.

Macbook 1.83, iMac 2.2 and G5 2x2, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Actually, I was able to find an Automator's script and to modify it so that it would do what I want. If it can be helpful for somebody, here's the Applescript code I created:

on run {input, parameters}
-- retropalette video recorder to hard disk
tell application "Finder" to activate
tell application "QuickTime Player"
new movie recording
start first recording
end tell
delay 8100
tell application "QuickTime Player"
stop first recording
end tell
return input
end run

Be advised that the "8100" is the lenght of the recording session in seconds, 2h15 in my situation.
