DaVinci Resolve's free edition does not come with H264/H265 support. You need to convert your video to a supported video format, like DNxHD/DNxHR and Cineform.  you can do this with <code>ffmpeg</code>. With FFmpeg installed, assuming your video is called <code>video.mp4</code>, you can use the following command to convert:
<code>ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_hq -c:a pcm_s16le -pix_fmt yuv422p output.mov</code>
This command will convert your video to a DNxHR video and your audio to uncompressed 16bit PCM. For 24bit PCM, use <code>-c:a pcm_s24le</code> instead.
You can know more about DNxHD/HR profiles with the command <code>ffmpeg -h encoder=dnxhd</code>
Resolve also supports Cineform and a few other formats. For Cineform encoding, use the <code>cfhd</code> encoder.
