Yeah, as far as I know, to understand video formats, you need to understand encode-decode process, how film/video editor operate normally (keeping in mind film/video editing has levels from $100s to way beyond me), history, how optics and cameras work, etc. Then particular choices and confusions can be understood.

This indeed just seems to jump-in in the middle and give a bunch very specific recommendation. I have no idea if they're good or bad recommendations but this doesn't seem like the way to teach good procedures.

There are not very many recommendations in this article, but they're good.

Wish I knew which ones were applicable to me, but without any reasoning, these "recommendations" are as good as random tweets with factoids.

Well, I just told you they're good, so now you know.

Yeah, based on your comment I learnt as much as the original article, which is basically nothing. So thank you :)
