I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro with internal cd drive. Core i7 with 8gbs of ram. Handbrake takes about 35 minutes for a 2hr movie using Apple TV 3 settings

Totally normal, the CPU is running at 100% so the fans are going to be loud and it's going to get hot. A computer will not kill itself, if it gets too hot it will throttle back or in very extreme cases just shutdown.
I have this assumption that if you make your laptop work that hard it will break or die very early in its lifetime.
