Which video codec should I use for maximum compatibility among Mac and Windows users?

Hello, I need to convert some 4K videos into a format that can be played back easily by Mac and Windows users. High quality would be nice. Under HandBrake, should I choose MP4 file or MKV file? As for Video Codec, should I choose H.264, H.265, MPEG-4 or MPEG-2? For FPS, should I use "Same as source"? Thanks.

MP4 is the best choice!

Thanks. After choosing MP4, I also need to choose among H.264, H.265, MPEG-4 or MPEG-2. Do you mean I should also select MPEG-4?

For strange reason, the video converted using Handbrake is displayed upside down. Anybody knows how to reverse it?

Look in the View section. Make sure the sidebar is shown for presets.
