Step 1. deleted the generic movie icon and replaced with a path to a particular folder(testmov)

Step 2. no changes

Step 3. no changes

Step 4. Replaced original with “Compress QuickTime using Most Recent Settings” since I can’t find the original item onlin, with “Compress.. most recent”. Chose directory for converted files as Desktop>new and chose QuickTime movie(as opposed to MPEG4)

Frankly, I was having so much trouble, I deleted the rest of the steps since they seem to deal with moving and deleting files..

Anyway.. with the first 4 steps… nothing happens..
