I wrote hbr (handbrake runner) [0]. It takes a global config, a per-file config, and individual outfile sections then calls HandBrakeCLI to encode video. I use it to encode movies/series from optical media. Additionally there is hbscan.py to generate a list of potential outfiles from handbrake's --scan argument. One day I'd like to integrate it with hbr (in C) using peg/leg [1]. Currently using pyparsing. This is still a lot of manual work, but it saves doing it twice. When you find a mistake in an encode there's a log with the file, and it's easy to go back and modify the keyfile and re-encode it.
