Looking for different ideas and input on what to do with the final step of delivering properly captured and edited home movies to family members? This current project is fairly big, well over 50 videos of varying lengths.

I've seen other mention a private youtube playlist, I feel a little icky with that solution.
Feel like the easiest would be a usb stick that folks can just plug into computer or tv and browse. I know usb sticks are easy to lose but I will have backup copies that are safe. Am I missing another easy option?

If I go this route is there any benefit to keeping the videos at a 720x480 mp4 as oppose to resizing to 1440x1080? Is the smaller file size worth letting whatever computer/tv upscale however they want.

Final question is H265 worth it? Is it ubiquitous enough that I shouldn't worry?

1440x1080 encoded into h.264 or h.265 does not make big files.

Probably the easiest way is to upload videos to youtube as unlisted videos and create a playlist of them. Then just share the link of the playlist.

You can upload the videos to a Google Drive account, and then anyone with the link can view them, but this keeps them away from public view. Google transcodes the video similarly to YouTube for easy viewing online, but also offers a link to download the original file that was uploaded, for the highest quality.
