Terje, thank you for this comprehensive list of vaapi supported encodings.

In hope it may be of some use for Cingg next, I make a summary and supplement to the guide in https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Hardware/VAAPI#Encoding And instead of adding a tail to already too long recent threads, I start a new thread here.
Two additional references are used Developer Reference: Media Capabilities Supported by Intel Hardware
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/onevpl/developer-reference-medi... Supported Encoding Input Format and Max Resolution
https://github.com/intel/media-driver/blob/master/docs/media_features.md#sup...
to clarify the Encode Features for my own Intel Arc A-series Discrete Graphics
HEVC (fixed-function hardware + shader-based) 8-bit, 4:2:0 (NV12) 10-bit, 4:2:0 (P010) 8-bit, 4:2:2 (YUY2, Windows only) 10-bit, 4:2:2 (Y210)
AV1 8-bit, 4:2:0 (NV12) 10-bit, 4:2:0 (P010)
A short reminder: 8-bit vs 10-bit color depths is 256 vs 1024 color levels of each RGB color, or 16.7 mill. vs 1.0 bill colors. 4:2:0 vs 4:2:2 color sub-sampling is keeping 1/4 vs 1/2 of all 4:4:4 colors or the precision of color compression.

An important point to notice is that the VAAPI encoding 'formats' are based on those in the parentheses () above.
Three simplified ffmpeg code lines with default bit-rates and without audio are used in the following three examples. Resulting fps encoding counts or speeds are the same in all cases; I don't know why.
The input file used:
ffprobe -hide_banner cfhd01.mkv Input #0, matroska,webm, from 'cfhd01.mkv': Metadata: ENCODER : Lavf61.1.100 Duration: 00:01:11.24, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 393480 kb/s Stream #0:0(eng): Video: cfhd (CFHD / 0x44484643), yuv422p10le(tv, bt709, top coded first (swapped)), 1920x1080, SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 1k tbn (default) Metadata: HANDLER_NAME : Apple Video Media Handler VENDOR_ID : appl ENCODER : Lavc61.3.100 cfhd DURATION : 00:01:11.240000000

It was also interesting to standardize that the corresponding ffmpeg syntax above works for both vaapi/qsv and hevc/av1:
- replace vaapi with qsv in 1) 2) and 3) above - and if applicable: replace hevc with av1 in 1) and 2) above
The default bitrates used do vary a lot as seen on listed output file sizes:
19M cfhd01_hevc_qsv_format_nv12.mp4 92M cfhd01_hevc_vaapi_format_nv12.mp4
224M cfhd01_hevc_qsv_format_p010.mp4 90M cfhd01_hevc_vaapi_format_p010.mp4
270M cfhd01_hevc_qsv_format_y210.mp4 104M cfhd01_hevc_vaapi_format_y210.mp4 ----------------
9,1M cfhd01_av1_qsv_format_nv12.mp4 102M cfhd01_av1_vaapi_format_nv12.mp4
9,1M cfhd01_av1_qsv_format_p010.mp4 110M cfhd01_av1_vaapi_format_p010.mp4
yes, last four lines seem say that qsv and vaapi AV1 encoders use * wildly* different defaults for bitrate ....
