Hello. It's all too complicated for me. Could you just tell me what the basiс settings for encoding are?

For example:

Profile.
Level.
Scaling mode (for downscaling).
Any other options I need to change aside from bitrate, resolution, rate control mode?

Also, I'm not sure about the preset option. I tried comparing 2 short files with medium and very slow presets, and I only managed to gain 10 KB in size reduction with very slow one. Is it worth it to change it from medium if encoding for personal purposes?
