Most of my conversions are done on my iMac, but I still convert a number of my children's movies on my Windows PC (single 3.2 Ghz CPU). A two hour movie with just a single pass takes more than 3 hours (about 2 hours on my iMac). When the PC version of Handbrake runs, you should see the command line window showing the status of the encoding. One hour for a full movie is too short.

I set DVD Shrink to get the movie part to fit on a burnable DVD: ~4Gig.
I figured since the iPhone does not have that rez, I should squash it more (in Handbrake) so it would take up less space. I was trying to convert Corpse Bride; the movie is only 1h15m. But it's good to know that it is supposed to take a really long time.
