Like about what file size are we talking about? How did you test this?
I guess you are making sure all movies are using the same preset.
How come in handbrake if I put a bunch of movies at once in the queue it increases their size? But if I individually do every moving it condenses?

Video is on 34. I put one in the queue at 400 or so mb and it spit back out a 600 mb file.

Are you using the same preset and then customizing any settings before you hit the batch? If so, that’s the issue. It doesn’t apply all of the settings to the whole batch when you alter them from a preset. You have to save it as a new preset

This doesn’t at all answer your question, but Handbrake has always frustrated me by being aggressively opaque.
Like if you’re not trying to encode something to run on an iPod Nano from 2007, the presets are all arbitrary and wacky, and it gives you very little control over the underlying commands.
I GREATLY prefer StaxRip. It strikes the right balance for transparency, automation, and configuration for me. Closest thing to working with commands from scratch, without all of the headache. Only downside is it’s only built for Windows.
