Handbrake includes HandBrakeCLI. Everything is possible from there.

I just ran

find . -type f -name "*mkv" -exec HandBrakeCLI -S 350 -i {} -o {}.m4v \;

earlier tonight over a folder of HD files to cram them down.

You can easily do all a lot in AppleScript if you want and then simply build the right shell script line to execute.

HandBrakeCLI -Z "High Profile" -i filename -o newfilename

or

HandBrakeCLI -Z Normal -i filename -o newfilename

Is most of what anyone is ever likely to need.

HandBrakeCLI -z (note case) will list the profiles and show the options that are set. For example, High Profile uses:

-e x264  -q 20.0 -a 1,1 -E faac,ac3 -B 160,160 -6 dpl2,auto -R 48,Auto -D 0.0,0.0 -f mp4 --detelecine --decomb --loose-anamorphic -m -x b-adapt=2:rc-lookahead=50

while Normal uses

-e x264  -q 20.0 -a 1 -E faac -B 160 -6 dpl2 -R 48 -D 0.0 -f mp4 --strict-anamorphic -m -x ref=2:bframes=2:subme=6:mixed-refs=0:weightb=0:8x8dct=0:trellis=0

So, you have presets for 99% of the work and then you can tweak individual settings if you really need to.
