Can you check with to see what is listed for the video format? When MediaInfo is set as View->Basic you should see 1 Video Stream: AVC or 1 Video Stream: HEVC. Or under View -> Text, you'll see a video section and the info like I have below...
And why do you think the file is "too big for HEVC"? Sure all things being equal (i.e. resolution, bit rate, color depth, etc.) H265 should produce a smaller video than H264. But the video codec used (H264 vs H265) is only one part of the equation. A High Bitrate HEVC file containing 6 EAC3 JOC with Atmos can have a larger file size than a medium bitrate H264 with 2 channel AAC audio
PS: I just downloaded Just Like Heaven and The Devil All The Time from Netflix and video for both is AVC/H264.
For comparison (this is not the full info, only the relevant info):

As you can see, even using the same AVC/H264 codec, they are much different files sizes due to movie length, bit rate, frame rate, and audio track size (due to length). Also, The Devil All the Time included 4 separate audio tracks where as Just Like Heaven only included 2.
