    A lot of people get weirdly aggressive about other people “eating food wrong”.

    Try saying “actually, sometimes as a treat, when just cooking for myself, I quite like eating pasta with just a little salt and a little butter, or maybe a little grated cheese on it” in front of a group of people…

    “YOU SHOULD PUT SAUCE ON IT”
    “WHY AREN’T YOU HAVING A SAUCE”
    “YOU CAN GET PRE-MADE SAUCES QUITE CHEAP, IT DOESN’T COST MUCH MORE JUST TO ADD A SAUCE”


  • I’m mostly echoing what’s already been said, but I have a preset in Handbrake for this, which works fine on most TVs I’ve tried from the last 10 years (possibly 15 by now) and therefore should have no problem running on any computer. I often (for work reasons) prepare video footage for looped playback on TVs and projectors at numerous places - so “TVs I’ve tried” is a larger number than it might initially sound like.

    It’s roughly along these lines (as I appear to have emailed someone about before):

    "H264 mp4. 1920x1080. 25 or 30fps, or similar (appropriate to source material). Constant bitrate <=12mbps. 8mbps is generally universally compatible, though you should be able to get away with 10-12mbps on newer TVs with newer USB sticks.

    AAC audio 192kbps, though lower is fine.

    Use same samplerate as source (i.e. 44khz 48khz etc)

    If you’ve got settings for encoding profile, Main and Level 4.0 should work.

    If individual files are small enough (<4GB), format the USB stick as FAT32. Otherwise NTFS. EXT2 will work on a lot of TVs, but you’ll have trouble with some computers. Exfat may work on newest tellys, but won’t on anything more than a few years old, so safe option is not to use it."
