Think like someone said earlier, easier to download the bloody things
Now where's the fun in that? 
Not sure about the AVCHD encode. Have you tried MediaCoder?
The ads can be annoying but it's a pretty capable conversion tool.

Miles, you know a hell of a lot more than me about handbrake, hell you even sent be a pre-set setting file to help me a while back, so I may be about to say something you already knew- When using handbrake I've found that using an ISO rip of the file is a lot faster than trying to rip from the disc.
I use DVDFab for make the ISO first, leaving out everything but the 5.1 audio track- no menus, subs. extras or anything else. Then I use handbrake to queue several ISO's.
It might sound like its going the long way round, but it lets me line up more files to encode than just using the 2 disc drives.
Who knows, it may help with the time it takes to rip a blu-ray, worth a try anyway.
TBH I've not tried ripping a blu-ray yet, I tend to buy the triple disc edition if its available, & if I want a home made rip, I use the dvd disc..
If I was going to watch a movie on my PS3 I'd use the blu-ray disc & so far haven't yet had a disc that I wanted to try ripping.

Hi Pat
Yeah I always rip the disc to a hard drive first then queue in Handbrake (I may have even told you that in the first place 
).
It's the same with a BD, I'm grabbing the m2ts files or extracting to an MKV then re-encoding to whatever I want afterwards.
It won't make much difference in terms of speed for BD encodes (given the fps for such material) but it's definitely easier when I'm ripping from one PC and then encoding using my MacBook.

Miles, try mkvmerge gui. Creates mkv files and you can add subtitle tracks if you want, assign default track, forced track etc..
I may have used it recently to add forced subs for ape speaking parts of a certain Ape film.

Yeah, have got the MKV tools and GUIs already and know how to extract and remux them.
However, I generally want hardcoded subs for non-English parts of films, so try to include them when I'm doing the initial encode.
