First time using HandBrake and I thought I'd see if this performance is about what to expect or if changes can be made. Encoding took about 12 hours. Do I just need a faster processor or more cores?

Is 12hours of encoding time about right for this movie?

Faster Processor, More cores. Thats what you need.
it's HD so yet, 12hrs is about right.
