Hello,

I would like to run a terminal command (or something along those lines) in Hazel to transcode .mkv files as they are placed in the watched folder.

The basic terminal command is other-transcode --mp4 --burn-subtitle auto "/Volumes/Drobo/Video/<VariableTitle>.mkv" where the <VariableTitle> changes based on the name of the file in the folder being watched.

Is there a way to do this? I don't have much experience with terminal, AppleScript, JavaScript, etc.

Thanks in advance!

You want to use the "Run shellscript" command. Hazel will pass in the path of the file to be processed, which you can access as "$1".
