Its basically a time saver (haven't tried using Handbrake recently so maybe its faster now) - it saved me many hours when encoding to H-264 (basically I could use this format instead of just MP3, even with MP3 it saved time) on early Duo Core MBP - have yet to compare on recently purchased 2.6 Duo Core 2 MBP but I expect this still holds. With this you first need to rip the DVD so you lose a little time there but I often found Handbrake failed to rip correctly or had issue finding content on some DVD's. MTR and Turbo-264 does not have this issue.
