To use iCal for timing, you need to split the script in two at the 'delay' line (and toss that line). Schedule the second script for the end-time.

• Use Quicktime Player (Pro Version).

  The same task can be accomplished using QuickTime Pro 7 and Tiger 10.4:
  
  
  -- Start Quicktime Pro 7 Recorder.
  -- Define Recorder Settings inside QT Pro Recorder Preferences
  -- Mods by GT-DVR
  
  tell application "QuickTime Player"
  activate
  
  do shell script "sleep " & (2)
  
  tell application "System Events"
  tell application process "QuickTime Player"
  click menu item "New Movie Recording" of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
  keystroke return
  -- hide quicktime player while recording
  click menu item "Hide QuickTime Player" of menu "QuickTime Player" of menu bar item "QuickTime Player" of menu bar 1
  end tell
  end tell
  end tell
  
  
  
  -- Stop Quicktime Pro 7 Recorder.
  -- Define Recorder Settings inside QT Pro Recorder Preferences
  -- Mods by GT-DVR
  
  tell application "QuickTime Player"
  activate
  do shell script "sleep " & (2)
  tell application "System Events"
  tell application process "QuickTime Player"
  keystroke return
  do shell script "sleep " & (2)
  -- hide quicktime player after recording
  click menu item "Hide QuickTime Player" of menu "QuickTime Player" of menu bar item "QuickTime Player" of menu bar 1
  end tell
  end tell
  end tell
  
  
  It is a little easier and simpler!
  
  Have fun,
  Goodtime
