the movie maker plugin uses Tk scripting, but with -dispdev text,
Tk and the entire graphics environment is not initialized, so the
answer is "no" you cannot use it.

however, it is fairly simple to write a little loop/script
of your own in Tcl that will execute the necessary steps.
most of which, you can copy from the movie maker script,
if needed.
