  An overview over the system FFmpeg 7.1 supported QSV pixel formats and profiles:


ffmpeg -hide_banner -encoders | grep qsv
 V..... av1_qsv              AV1 (Intel Quick Sync Video acceleration) (codec av1)
 V..... h264_qsv             H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 (Intel Quick Sync Video acceleration) (codec h264)
 V..... hevc_qsv             HEVC (Intel Quick Sync Video acceleration) (codec hevc)
 V..... mjpeg_qsv            MJPEG (Intel Quick Sync Video acceleration) (codec mjpeg)
 V..... mpeg2_qsv            MPEG-2 video (Intel Quick Sync Video acceleration) (codec mpeg2video)
 V..... vp9_qsv              VP9 video (Intel Quick Sync Video acceleration) (codec vp9)


ffmpeg -hide_banner -h encoder=av1_qsv | egrep 'Supported|profile|main|high|professional'
    Supported hardware devices: qsv qsv qsv
    Supported pixel formats: nv12 p010le qsv
  -profile           <int>        E..V....... (from 0 to INT_MAX) (default unknown)
     main            1            E..V.......


ffmpeg -hide_banner -h encoder=hevc_qsv | egrep 'Supported|profile|main|high|professional'
    Supported hardware devices: qsv qsv qsv
    Supported pixel formats: nv12 p010le p012le yuyv422 y210le qsv bgra x2rgb10le vuyx xv30le

     mainsp          3            E..V.......
  -tier              <int>        E..V....... Set the encoding tier (only level >= 4 can support high tier) (from 0 to 256) (default high)
     main            0            E..V.......
     high            256          E..V.......


ffmpeg -hide_banner -h encoder=h264_qsv | egrep 'Supported|profile|main|high|professional'
    Supported hardware devices: qsv qsv qsv
    Supported pixel formats: nv12 qsv
  -profile           <int>        E..V....... (from 0 to INT_MAX) (default unknown)
     main            77           E..V.......
     high            100          E..V.......

from this we can conclude av1/hevc should have 10bit option  ...

probably writing down numerical values for profiles (high, main...) for each codec is also good idea.

A reference and overview table for QSV capabilties for each iGPU and dGPU generation is here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video#Hardware_decoding_and_encoding

And finally, after much trying and failing, I was able to prove that true 10bit 422 color depth hevc_qsv encoding is possible with my system ffmpeg 7.1
.
While pixel format p010le results in "just" 10bit yuv420p, the clue is to to use either (trying this for av1_qsv, auto- switch to 8bit nv12):

-pix_fmt y210le
or
-v format=yuv422p010le

Code example:

ffmpeg -hide_banner -hwaccel_output_format qsv -i cfhd01.mkv -c:v hevc_qsv -pix_fmt y210le cfhd01_hevc_qsv_pxfmt_y210le.mp4

Good to know.

Hopefully if we on the right track with "just" 10bit yuv420 encoding we will find way to stuff more complex cases in there too ....

Does it work with vaapi encoder (system ffmpeg as cli application) too?

I am testing similar now with vaapi and will report on that thread soon.
