Interesting you mentioned that. I have tried ripping from disk, but it's only marginally faster (5%) if at all. Obviously, because there's a ton of processor capacity left idle when handbrake is encoding on the Quad, you can run multiple simultaneous encoding tasks. I have not tried encoding two Handbrake tasks at once. I have, however, tried a handbrake encoding task and an itunes video encoding task at the same time. here's what happened:

Handbrake (w/ iTunes running): 95% processors... iTunes (w/ Handbrake running): 45% processors.
It frustrates me, seeing all this idle cpu time. Isn't this why I bought the QUAD?
