The default setting.

Video rate of anything higher than 288 was shown to skip or pause.
My friend discovered this after encoding various 16:9 / 4:3 ratio videos at multiple different rates.
So LS5 has set the default to 288. (well, he never mentioned if it was due to my post but doubt it's a coincidence. hehe.)

Medium profile is the best. Unless you are leaving it to encode over night while you sleep.
Then High is obviously a little bit better. But it's not very noticeable.
Especially when it takes nearly double the amount of time to encode.

For the audio, I usally choose Mono/Normalize and 96kbps @ 48000hz.
With stereo, 48000hz may not work properly and uses more space as you need to do at least 128k or higher for similar audio quality to Mono@96kbps.

Mono results in quicker encoding of the audio also. =)

my 2 cents.
