The handbrake client works on ONE FILE AT A TIME. When you select a different title, EVERYTHING KNOWN ABOUT THE PREVIOUS TITLE IS THROWN AWAY.
IIRC the MacGUI is a bit smarter than that now, it keeps track of the changes relative to the preset on a per-file basis, so you don't lose them when switching titles (unless you specifically change/reload the preset, I cannot remember the exact behavior then). But relying on this behavior is not ideal anyway.
Edit: scratch that, I must have misremembered or something. (it may even be the WinGUI that does it, albeit partially; in the case of the OP it seems like possibly the change of video encoder is somehow remembered when switching titles?) (anyway, relying on this is likely to cause issues sooner or later, so better to assume everything gets reset when you switch titles anyway)

first step:
(0) scan a file or folder
easy way:
(1) select base/starting preset
(2) make desired changes to preset, if any, for example:
- set encoder as desired
- change subtitle selection behavior via corresponding button and dialog
(3) save new preset with the changes (optional if you didn't make any changes to the original preset)
(4) add all titles to the queue at once using the corresponding menu item
or
(4) select title 1, check that everything is in order (if you configured the preset correctly, including e.g. changing the subtitle selection behavior, no changes should be required, so it's still quicker than the other way below), add title 1 to queue
(4) select title 2, check that everything is in order (if you configured the preset correctly, including e.g. changing the subtitle selection behavior, no changes should be required, so it's still quicker than the other way below), add title 2 to queue

(4) select title N, check that everything is in order (if you configured the preset correctly, including e.g. changing the subtitle selection behavior, no changes should be required, so it's still quicker than the other way below), add title N to queue
other way:
(1) select base/starting preset
(2) select title 1, make desired changes (e.g. change video encoder, clear output subtitle list), add title 1 to queue
(2) select title 2, make desired changes (e.g. change video encoder, clear output subtitle list), add title 2 to queue
[…]
(2) select title N, make desired changes (e.g. change video encoder, clear output subtitle list), add title N to queue
