what's the full path to the file?

also, what's the full path to xACT?

[saxophoner]

file
Where: /users/ctd/desktop/archive/los.wav
xACT
Where: /applications

is that what you are talking about when you mean path?  the file is supposed to be saved to /users/ctd/desktop/archive/los2006-12-30 folder

so what was the problem?

[saxophoner]

not sure, the script error kept popping up so i restarted the computer, reopened the program, clicked encode and it went at it finishing encoding in a few minutes.  guess i lucked out

applescript can sometimes get into a weird state that a reboot or repair of system permissions can fix...
