After the successful Appimage build with OneVPL for QSV on Alder Lake (i7-12700/Arc A750), the time has come as proof of contest to test if it also works on legacy Intel iGPU hardware.

Conclusion: ------------------- The above simple tests show that the QSV enabled Appimage with OneVPL works also on legacy and other Intel hardware.
