Another Handbrake user here.  Although I use the CLI version mostly
with my home server.  Transcoding video on an Atom is slow and it
might take 6 hours to do a movie as opposed to 90 minutes on my main
computer, but if it's over in the corner doing it's thing, what do I
care.  I'll usually rip overnight or pop the movie in before I leave
for work and SSH back in to rip it.
