Split QuickTime movies into equal-sized sections

Here's a little Applescript that I've polished up for release: Movie Splitter 3GP. It uses QuickTime Player to slice up any movie into equally-sized chunks, and exports those chunks as 3GP. I wrote this when I discovered that my phone (the Motorola V3i) seems to have a hard time keeping video and sound in sync for more than 20 minutes, and I intended to use it to watch an entire movie.

It's quite straightforward to use; open the movie you want to export and click on the script. It will ask how long you want the slices to be, and uses the most recent export settings. So just be sure to check them before you take it for a test drive. Enjoy.
