From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'd use HEVC/H265 anyway, always, the best quality for its size. And AAC for audio
I'm reasonably sure that AV1 has better or at least similar size ratios. They also explicitly mentioned wanting to use libre codecs, which h265 is not.
You can be more than reasonably sure that AV1 compresses better than H.265. With AV1 you can use Opus for audio and that is going to absolutely destroy whatever your pairing with H.265.
At the video resolutions we are talking about here, the audio is going to be a big chunk of the H.265 file. Opus will make a huge difference.
Why AAC and not opus for Audio? AAC takes away a ton of content, may not be relevant for these specific movies, but very relevant for music.
AAC if those old movies are in mono/stereo. Also AAC works everywhere, not sure for opus? It's been a long time I ripped dvd to convert them.
