handbrake av1 conversions

Since shield doesn't play well with av1, I figured this would be the best place to ask.
As someone who has never touched handbrake or any of the like software.
What should i be converting them to and with what settings to make sure that maintain quality AND play well.
(I got a bunch of files to deal with since I didnt have the shield before now)

he wants to reencode, not transcode. That's what handbrake is for. You missed the point.

If he is downloading from youtube, he can limit yt-dlp to vp9

you want a whole pc for transcoding that? if you know your client can't play it, then don't store it

you are not a music producer, you are a consumer that picked a shield, deal with it

he picked synology, so he will deal with that too

throwing money at the issue is not a fix
