Encode completes, but Hanbrake never finishes

The handbrake encode status bar reaches 100%, but 7 hours later, handbrake still does not finish (the red Cancel Button is still indicated). If I stop the process, the movie does seem to work (I haven't tried watching the complete picture)

I'm converting from a folder (I selected the video drectory, not the title directory). I'm converting to iPod, low-rez.

I can confirm this happens for me as well. the movies seem to be completely fine though after canceling at 100%. I was using the build from september 10th, i believe. this morning i updated to the latest SVN release, but haven't encoded anything yet.

I get the hanging at the end problem sometimes, too. The tricky thing is, it could be muxing (or something), or it could really be done. You can check your CPU usage and try playing the file. If the CPU isn't busy and the file plays, you can kill the CLI window.

i was using the MacGUI at the time. i checked the CPU and it was not muxing. i also tried playing it before i exited handbrake, but of course it was not playable while it was still "in use" by handbrake. after exiting handbrake and "canceling" then encoding, the movie played from beginning to end fine.

...after having problems at first, HB now exits gracefully.
