In addition, I'd like to note that with software decoding, the
level chosen at encoding time has absolutely no relevance.
For hardware decoding, it is said to have some usefulness
but note that afaik all hardware suppliers do not guarantee
to support a particular level in their hardware. The only known
effect of "level" is that some hardware decoders in software
(read: FFmpeg) refuse to start decoding certain levels...
