OK, on my brand-spanking new Apple iMac 24":

Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
Mac OS X 10.5.0
H.264 Video, MP4 container, 2500kbps, 2 pass turbo
AAC audio, 160kbps stereo
640x480 23.976 fps, no deinterlace or denoise
level-idc=41:ref=6:bframes=3:subq=6:me=hex:mixed-refs=1:direct=spatial:weightb=1:brdo=1:bime=1:deblock=-1,0:trellis=1:no-fast-pskip=1:no-dct-decimate=1:deadzone-inter=13:deadzone-intra=7

0.9.1 = 9.96/79.32 fps, average 12.31 fps
r1055 = 11.21/86.32 fps, average 15.81 fps

Me like lots!

Could you try benchmarking Handbrake on Mac versus Handbrake on Bootcamp? That's if you are bored.
But wouldn't you want to know what gives the fastest performance?

Also try the Mpeg-4 Part 2 AVI format as that is more universal than H264.

I'd have to buy a copy of Windows to do that... nah, not going to happen.

Not interested. I can encode +70% faster on the iMac than the G4, so I'm happy.

All my videos are encoded H.264/AAC and they play back just fine on all my gear. The PS3, X360, my mini; not a problem on one of them.

That sounds pretty universal to me.
