My handbrake userjob looks like this

/usr/bin/HandBrakeCLI -i "%DIR%"/"%FILE%" -o
/storage/recordings/"%FILE%".mp4 --preset="iPhone & iPod Touch"

I chose the above preset as I'm running an older Handbrake version and this
works fine on both iphone4 and ipad2

I initially set this up for mythiphone but never bothered updating %FILE%
to be %TITLE% - %SUBTITLE% or whatever the correct variables are....

Cheers,

Anthony
