[Support #JDN-807839]: writeMovie produces an error when run in a script in the nightlies. [1178]

Greetings Bob,

Sorry for the delay, but the fix is in now. I saw the comment on Redmine 
through an email message, but I didn't see it was from Don...so I've been 
waiting to hear from Don but he replied quickly and I missed the boat...my bad!

Cheers,

Sean
