Trancepriest, that's very impressive. I do a lot of TV show encodes for my AppleTV - I should say I try to, because 90% of my .mkv files fail part way through with Handbrake (or any other app I've tried, those matroska containers seem to be a challenge). When you've waited 12 hours to do a one hour TV show, that's hugely disappointing! This is with my current G5, so I'm really looking forward to my new quad 2.93. You can do two at once with your octo, I'll happily settle for one at a time, in 20 mins or similar timing.
Got a tip for us?

Can someone with 09 MP rip a movie with Handbrake and share results?

Looking at your picture again a can't help but notice that if Handbrake utilized 8 cores you could probably be encoding these 45 min TV shows in 10 minutes. Very impressive, you could probably encode full fledged 720p movies in less than 30min.
Where do you play your movies? Do you have an AppleTV? Have you had any issues with the constant quality setting at 59%? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just looking at buying either your system or the octo 2.66.
I have an Apple TV but hardly use it except for Boxee/Hulu. I usually watch my shows on my 30" ACD. I don't own a TV. What I would like to do is set up a shell script utilizing HandbrakeCLI that automatically rips my downloads. when I do that then I'll use the Apple TV even more. I haven't had any issues... the quality is schweeet!!!
I am always trying to find new ways to push these cores. I just like seeing it go and feeling somehow that I got my moneys worth... lol. While working in Motion/Color/Redcine I see no response at all from CPU. Good to see Handbrake/Compressor/RedRushes going at it.
Right. Batman Dark Knight.
From HDD2 to HDD3 HDD1 running os.
H.264 conversion to apple TV on handbrake (default settings)
Average 110fps
Time 23 mins
Processor usage 8-900% (53%user 47% idle)
I thought this was slow so Im trying MP4 conversion. will post ASAP

Handbrake won't utilize all 8 (16) of your cores. Maybe a future update will fix this problem, but 23 min for a 2 and half hour movie is pretty good.
I wonder if VisualHub utilizes all 8 cores.
Do you have any games installed per chance? I've been looking at the same machine and wondered if it could play a modern 3D game whilst encoding (I have a fair bit planned). Given that you have almost half the CPU power available is it possible?
I have 2 Xbox 360's and a PS3, Why do I need to spend £2800 on mac to play games?
Seriously though I have a couple of old mac games return to castle wolf and halo but ive only got 3x gt120's so i wouldnt expect miracles.
Oh - fair point. It was really the possibility of running both processor intensive tasks at the same.
I thought visual hub was no longer made. I had it and for some reason lost my serial number and would love to have it back.
I have a quad and Handbrake shows up as 8x100% but that's 4 cores. If someone has experience using the command line version of handbrake with an octo, you can try to set the number of CPU's to 8 and see what happens. by default, Handbrake is set to "autodetect"
### General Handbrake Options------------------------------------------------
-h, --help Print help
-u, --update Check for updates and exit
-v, --verbose <#> Be verbose (optional argument: logging level)
-C, --cpu Set CPU count (default: autodetected)
-Z. --preset <string> Use a built-in preset. Capitalization matters, and
if the preset name has spaces, surround it with
double quotation marks
-z, --preset-list See a list of available built-in presets
Perhaps the "autodetect" isn't quite fully ~auto~

There's also a default of threads=auto in the x264 options, I think. You can try threads=16 and see what happens...

not as fast but still great
encoded ratatouille on my 2.8 octo w/ 10GB RAM:
movie: 1:51:02H
appleTV: 28:39 minutes, 93fps
iPhone: 25:00 minutes, 106.65fps
for the appleTV encode I was getting 400-550% CPU, iPhone was getting 300-400% CPU.
though not as fast as the new Mac Pros, it's still a lot faster than my G5 - that would average minute for minute for the iphone version. so a 2 hours movie, it would take >= 2 hours to encode. i am a little surprised to see that the iphone version wasn't that much faster than the appleTV version - it seems that most people are getting about 1/2 the encode time for the iphone version vs. apple tv.

Here's me:
A one hour, fifty one minute, and fifteen second movie. (01:51:15) encoded in 20 min. 44 sec.. This is a 2006 Mac Pro at 2.66 (8 total cores) and 12 GB of RAM.
Using the unmodified Apple TV preset.
I think it averaged 235 FPS but is disappeared when the job was done so...
The only question I have is: what does "No accelerated IMDCT transform found" mean exactly?
My only comment is that this seems to be identical times to the new 2009 Mac Pro machines. <shrug>
It looks like I even beat the 2.8 Octad posted above by more than 7 minutes. Hmm...
Also my CPUs were 90% to 93% the entire time.

I did the test. First i ripped the DVD "Casino" with the stock built in Superdrive (LG GH41N). I used the Apple TV preset. Result: 50 minutes.
Then I tried it again with my second Superdrive, which is a LG bluray burner (LG GGW-H20L) with the latest firmware (YL05). Result: 48 minutes.
And for my final testing I patched the firmware of my LG GGW-H20L (used Windows to do so) and took away the riplock. Result: 48 minutes.
Conclusions:
1. The stock Superdrive Apple puts in the 2009 MacPro cannot be unlocked right now.
2. Even if you could, it would not make any difference in Handbrake as my test with the LG GGW-H20L shows.
Two questions:
1) How long is the film
2) Is it much faster encoding from a Video_TS File on a hard disk rather than from the optical disc directly?
1) The film has a duration of 02:50:57.
2) No, it took me 47 minutes, which is only one minute faster
...but... this is when chosing AppleTV as preset. If I choose the AppleTV legacy preset (can anyone tell me what exactly the difference is?) it takes less than 30 minutes.
wow, some of these times are smoking. makes me want a new mac pro, though my 2006 quad is working just fine. since when i run my encodes, i have tons of other stuff running also, including a webserver, so my times are much slower. but i do have 14GB of RAM, so that helps

Quoting myself
because I'm so chuffed with the new machine. I guess the best thing about waiting for a few generations before finally upgrading is that you see a huge difference when you finally go for it. Those 10 hour encodes, with their 90% failure rate, are now 20 - 30 mins, I'm able to go for higher quality files too since they're so fast, and they all successfully complete! Really putting the AppleTV to better use now.
