I'm about to produce my first USB stick delivery instead of dvd. Is H265 now universal for pc players and smart tvs or should I stick to H264?

i'd leave CABAC off in h.264 encode settings or your TV's processor may not be able to playback fast enough.

Where would I find the CABAC option in Premiere?

NB: It wasn't until I selected the Baseline profile that CABAC was turned off. Hardware/software encoding, VBR/CBR, 1-pass or 2-pass, none of those made any difference.

I would stick to H.264 unless you are absolutely certain your client will be able to play H.265

My big 4K smart tv does not play 265.
