8 Core Handbrake Encoding...

No way you're even close to using all of you processing power. You should pull up task manager and look at the processor utilization
I thought I had read about six months ago on either MacRumors or the Handbrake forums that quad core will use 100% and 8 core will only use 70% of all the processors.
Someone was commenting that it was nice to encode and still have plenty of processor power left for other tasks on their 8 core Mac Pro.

Exactly, HB is most optimized for up to a four core processor, realize that not all of the encoders are as optimized as others. x264 is the most optimized and multi threaded. The muxers are not multithreaded at all so the muxing phase will be slower, also the deinterlacers have crappy optimization so if your deinterlacing that is your bottleneck.
eddyg, one of the HB devs that has an eight core can get better speeds using two instances of HB. Also remember, do not interlace unless you have to.

What are the rest of the machine specs? Ram? HDD ? etc.
I have a spare Dual - Dual Core 2.0ghz Opteron server with 4gb ram, 160gb 7200rpm SATA drive etc. I may use to do some encoding.
What the **** is your deal? You're the angriest little message board warrior I have ever seen!
Well, if you were a little more experienced in these forums you'd understand that not only am I quite helpful to others when I can be, but that I also don't like people with poor manners, such as yourself.
Wow you're one tough internet dude! I bet you roll your cigarettes up in your sleeve!
