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)

-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.
