I don’t think you can select the log file location, it is always in the same folder as the handbrake executable I think.

There are a couple preference options that should affect the log file location. In the Linux GUI, these are.
  1. Set a custom directory for HandBrake temporary files
  2. Put individual encode logs in same location as movie
There should be similar preference options for the other platforms.

Note that HandBrake generates 2 log files. One for the duration of the running instance that is always placed in the HandBrake temporary files location. And one for each file that is encoded that may be placed in a subdirectory under the temp directory or in the same directory as the encoded video.
