This series of short articles could interest some of you: https://diveintomark.org/tag/give If you get bogged down, or are not interested in the details, go to Part 5. Otherwise, start with Part 1 (on the bottom.)
The author, Mark Pilgrim, works at Google, is a big accessibility and open source advocate, among other things.
Well written. Even a codec dufus like me can understand.

Here’s my favorite part of the whole article…it applies to matter what you are talking about, be it NLE software or carpenters tools…
All of which leads me to the Zen of video encoding, which is this:
