Note at the time of the upload that the WMF did not support MP4 or H.264 format. If this video is not HEVC encoded I am working on getting WMF to support uploading the original MP4. I think this is a better idea than relying on the 5GB increase.

Right now this limit is not even 4GB.

Part of the reason why I waited was to aim for something like HE-AAC.

In particular smartphone cameras often record in mp4, and support would mean that they would not have to be converted.

Though don't forget input as well as output, which is part of why I mentioned AAC.
I wonder however if this is a good time to make up plans for enabling this though.
I know. They even transcode Theora videos to WebM.
Note that Chrome is removing support for Theora: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/qqDdLkeyk7Y/m/ajHePzglAwAJ

I am in no rush to do that one for a couple of reasons, but....

I wonder if there are any plans at this point.

Question: should other profiles of AAC be enabled or just AAC-LC?
Answered the first one in recent comments. There is already an issue for enabling AAC.
Also see issue T166025
I would prefer mp4 if possible.
I know about that one.

There are already very few patents remaining on MPEG-2. It is probably not as important as MP3 though.

This is a myth. "RapidSSL SHA256 CA - G3" is definitely SHA256. The other intermediate is for compatibility with older clients such as XP/Server 2003 (but note that XP has root certificate update enabled by default).
