I choose "MP4 file" format and if you look closely there is a checkbox for "Large file size" in the Handbrake output settings that you must be sure to UNCHECK or else you will end up with the massive file size that takes forever to convert. Not sure why they set that as the default as it makes conversions take twice as long.

Also I noticed if I set it to convert a movie right after restarting my computer then Handbrake converts alot faster.
