[CLI request] Handbrake.fr

Whenever I download a film zipped up in a ZIP or RAR archive, I find myself using Handbrake to compress videos to save disk space. However, currently I have to download it to my computer, compress, then re-upload.

It'd be useful to have this on the machine, so I can just get it done in one go. No uploading or downloading, no usage of bandwidth, and less disk usage on unnecessarily large files.

E.g., if I wanted to compress a video whilst keeping all audio tracks, all subtitles, 'same as source' frame rate and optimize it for web, I'd put in:

HandBrakeCLI -i input.mp4 -o output.mp4 --all-audio --all-subtitles --optimize --encoder-preset=VeryFast --encoder-level="4.0" --encoder-profile=main --vfr

If you think this will destroy the video's quality, then I encourage you to try it out on your own desktop. It's a brilliant compressor.
