I think it works now but I'm totally confused as to why it is behaving this way. The script below works...or at least once the file has encoded completely the QT movie opens...about 15 seconds or so later. That is weird to me. Another weird thing is before the flv would show up even though the file was not 100%. Now the file does not show up until 15 seconds or so after the file has completed.
Note: Scrutinizer you initially recommended 5 seconds to sleep. I changed it to 15 because QT was opening early like before. When I check the log file it said the two values did equal each other. I assume maybe the file took a 5 seconds break or something so I increased it to 15 and it fixed it.

sleep 15
