I agree with both of you. When faced with this kind of choice, we must
choose the wording that will be as clear and not confusing as possible
for people familiar with general concepts of video encoding but not
necessarily familiar with the jargon of any particular sub-field. The
specialists of the particular subfield are supposed to be more capable
of adjusting.

Also, I have observed that the jargon of a narrow field is frequently
made of awful misnomers kept more as cargo cult than for any good
reason.
