I'm not sure I understand the question. But does this help

rb-appscript.rubyforge.org

This isn't what you're looking for, but gives an example of working with 
a movie. I got the following in response to a question I asked from HAS:

require 'appscript'
include Appscript
QTP = app('QuickTime Player.app')

# To export the middle frame of a movie file to a PICT file:
movie = QTP.open(MacTypes::Alias.path('/path/to/your movie.mov'))[0]
movie.current_time.set(movie.duration.get / 2)
movie.export(:to=>MacTypes::FileURL.path('/path/to/middle
frame.pict'), :as=>:picture)
movie.close

Hope this helps.
