Contribute to or make my own open source project. I dabble right now, but I just don't have the time to polish up my projects for public release or to learn an unknown codebase...

Seconded! They changed channel name to Jay and Mark now though, but it's the same great content.

The first time I got that popup I immediately gave up using that garbage software ever again, but casual PC users don't quite have the same self respect.

I'd be inclined to blame the restaurant for that one, the designer would normally be making it for print, in which case higher quality is better. If tthe restaurant wants a digital menu, they should ask for that.

The default Windows player does not support h265 without an additional charge. Cheap devices such as my parents' Hisense from 4 years ago also stutter badly on playback of h265, even though they aren't high bitrate (1.5GB for 1.5hr movie, hardly a large video). These are additional barriers that can be avoided by using h264.

HEVC is a bad idea, as hardware support is still missing on some devices and certain common software such as Windows Media Player cannot play it without a microtransaction. These are easy fixes for anyone with the desire to solve them, but it sounds like that is not who OP is gifting to. I literally had someone ask me last week what to do with a video file WMP could not play and it mildly blew my brain.
