Handbrake, is so far fine, but the large size videos, get even more larger and it is taking too long as well. So, is there any way out to keep off this problem.
You'll have to clarify what you mean. File sizes depend on resolution and compression settings. Are you using the presets or your own settings? Encoding takes time and there's no way around that.

I prefer video.net uses handbrake cli for encoding but seems to do the job in 1/3 the time it takes handbrake to encode.

Speed and lossless quality

I used to use handbrake which did an excellent job with the correct preset.

I now use AVplayer and CineXplayer as I no longer need to convert and can easily drag and drop movies through iTunes.

For DVD to mp4? Yes handbrake is what you want.

For AVI to mp4? MP4Tools

For MKV to mp4? Mp4Tools

You can use handbrake for everything but Mp4Tools is 100x faster because it allows pass thru on the video. Generally you only need to transcode the audio to AAC as the iPhone can play 264 or Mpeg4 without problem.
