you could also try any video converter, that's the actual name.

Personally I use

DVDFab to rip
MeGUI to encode

MeGUI like Handbrake is just a GUI but it has more options and seems to keep up with newer releases of codecs and has high support for what I need it to do.

If you try the MeGUI route there is an iPhone preset you can use that is perfect for the N900 (H264 1000kb/s Basline 3.0 Profile)

For audio use AAC (NeroAACEnc.exe)
For Video use H264 (x264.exe)
For Muxing use MP4Box (Mp4box.exe)
For filtering use AVI Synth

All of those are built into MeGUI already.

The one encode I did with HB recently did not work out well.

I am using DVDfab as I had too many issues with handbrake even with all the superb help from users and the wiki. I rip my dvd's with it and use file to mobile in dvdfab to convert them. I loaded the "droid" profile from dvdfabs forums and that works great. Big files though.Still its not like I don't have the space. I also use the general profile and reduce the settings to get smaller files everynow and then. Just use the same settings for audio etc as in the wiki here.

I was using Gom encoder to do my encoding. It free for 30 days and it stamps its watermark on the movie. Did fine with it, and had all the options i needed. However it seems that sometimes it cannot embed subtitle directly into the movie frame.
I use MenCoder to embed subtitles

But now i have found SUPER and i use it instead of GomEncoder.
If you want it, you should get it from their own site, because, and i quote

"It IS NOT RECOMMENDED to download SUPER © from other sites as you may get an outdated or tampered SETUP file.
This official web site is the ONLY one to provide the latest updated guaranteed virus-free spyware-free version of SUPER ©"

If you ask me, like the ones that created said, It truly does for free what other oncoders can't do for money.
It has EVERY codec you will ever need DIRECTLY embeded in the program itself. You can encode everything from everything, any format is recognized, it truly is amazing.

The one thing missing is the ability to embed subtitles in the video stream directly, hardcoded subtitles, like other like to name them.

It can even join files, etc you will see it has tons of option and it is easy to use.

I know i have found my right encoder.
