It can vary with the installation. Generally, Windows users will find it in "C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\HandBrake\logs".
During the encode, the file is named "last_encode_log.txt" (or a variation on that; the machine I'm using right now is using "last_encode_log1.txt"), and it's copied to a file with the name of the encoded file and the date/time when the encode completes.

Ya I see what your talking about. I got some stuff like this at the bottom of my activity_log#####.log file which I could use to query every X minutes or try to see when the file changes and then get the newest line or something.

Although when running a queue it creates a new file of the named file that's being encoded so that would just be a pain to try and keep track of.
Honesty the Handbrake Team just needs to add a option to output the status of the Handbrake application to a file. They are already outputting this data to the bottom of the program as it is which includes percentage complete of current file, time remaining and elapsed as well as pending jobs left. I just want that to be written to a file every 5 minutes or something so I can query it. It would be a nice developer option feature in a Handbrake sub menu that you could turn on if you wanted.

I think the phrase, "Patches welcome" is appropriate here.
This request would be very useful to a handful of people, and of no interest to most. If it were of interest to a developer on the "Handbrake Team", it might have a chance... But, if someone for whom it IS important develops a clean patch to make it happen, I'm sure it would be considered.

Hey man I'll write it for them they just need to point me in the right direction to the code base and I'm good to go. Most the code has already been written anyway for this so it won't be hard to do, especially for someone who programs like myself.
