Script to convert a video file Mon Sep 23, 2019 8:31 am • by Dave61
I wanted to convert some video files using Hazel to manage the process. This is what I came up with.

The fourth rule checks whether the conversion is already in progress and stops the action triggering again.

HandbrakeCLI is command line version of the Handbrake video conversion tool.

This is exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks so much for sharing this.

Can the script be modified so that once the conversion is complete the original mkv is moved to trash?
