Just wanted to make a couple of comments on files and codecs. I have recently run into problems with MP4 H.265 files. They do not play back (for me) on anything aside from VLC on my computer. Yes, they are smaller in size and seem very crisp, but I cannot run them on my tablet, HD recorder, or main TV. Unfortunately, H.265 encoded files do not seem that good converted to another type.
The files I've been fairly happy to use, are MP4 H.264 L.4.1.
AVI seems to be a thing of the past, but its worth considering MKV as your main type of file, which are pretty reliable. I'd also suggest that if you have some decent video conversion software, you do not downsize the files as you will suffer quality loss.
Do a few tests with short files using different types and make comparisons.
