I am still struggling to get vulkan transcoding to work on Intel 
i7-12700KF with

    API: OpenGL v: 4.6 compat-v: 4.5 vendor: intel mesa v: 25.0.5
         renderer: Mesa Intel Arc A750 Graphics (DG2)
       API: Vulkan v: 1.4.309 drivers: N/A surfaces: xcb,xlib

Because the corresponding ffmpeg syntax works fine using "vaapi" instead 
of "vulkan", I hope to get a modified syntax for vulkan to try:

ffmpeg -hide_banner -init_hw_device vulkan -i hdv09_04.m2t -vf 
format=nv12,hwupload -c:v hevc_vulkan -y hdv09_04_hevc_vulkan_nv12.mp4
