What settings is everyone using for Handbrake? Using the defaults, the half dozen movies I've ripped have come out to a little over a gig. They look great, but is it overkill? I could experiment with smaller sizes, but thought I'd see what everyone here is using.

I use the iPod Hi Rez default setting on the Mac Pro at work. I have a setting I use on my MacBook when I want speed that's basically the same bit rate etc but using MPEG-4 and two pass.

I can't get handbrake to recognize any files, so I use QT to convert the films... works perfect.
