What settings do I need to use to make HEVC video in Handbrake? I encoded a h.265 video and it will not play on my new iPad(5th Generation)
I am trying to open them in the iOS 11 files app.

3Hey Matt, first of all welcome to Ask Different! :) If Matt Sephton's answer doesn't help you, could I suggest you edit your question to include the actual settings you've tried so far? Also, it may be good to indicate whether you're open to using other software. Finally, (yeah I know, lots of suggestions), it's probably a good idea to indicate what software you were trying to view the video with on your iPad?– Monomeeth ♦May 4, 2018 at 23:29

Handbrake is probably not the best choice for this as it's so unfriendly and difficult to setup. The easiest way I've found is:
- Select one of the Matroska H.265 Presets
- Change Summary > Format to MP4 File
- Start encoding
The only issue is if your source video does not match one of the presets.
You might have more luck, and make your life easier with Half app ($9.99).
Apple's Compressor app (App Store link, not available for free) can do this easily: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208238
- Select the setting in the batch area,
- Click Video in the Inspector, then click Change.
- Click the Compression Type pop-up, then choose HEVC from the list.
Using Compressor you can also create a self-contained HEVC droplet for easy drag-and-drop encoding.
