I like to use handbrake for turning final videos into web videos. The UI is really nice and easy to follow and gives you a fair amount of settings and a render queue, and it gives me better results than even using proprietary apps like premiere.

VP9 does work in mp4, it is non-standard as far as I beliveve, but it does work.

Thanks for another very useful video! Minor point: could you mention in the video notes something to the effect that the process is a bit CPU-intensive and so one should be aware of that when dealing with long videos.
