The problem: If you’re watching a video in Apple’s QuickTime Player, there’s no way to bookmark your current location in the video you’re watching and come back to it later.

The solution: An AppleScript script that first checks if there’s a “qtbookmark.txt” file in the user’s “Movies” folder. If there is, it opens the movie specified in that file and starts playing it in full screen mode at the time specified. If there is not, it saves the path to and current time of the currently playing movie into the “qtbookmark.txt” file and quits the QuickTime Player. (This does have a limitation of only being able to bookmark one movie at a time, which is sufficient for my uses. Extending it to work with multiple bookmarks wouldn’t be hard and is left as an excersise for the reader.)

This script is most useful if you place it in the /Library/Scripts folder and use the /Applications/AppleScript/AppleScript Utility application to turn on the Script Menu in the menu bar.
