An important point to notice is that the VAAPI
encoding 'formats' are based on those in the
parentheses () above.<br>
<br>
Three simplified ffmpeg code lines with
default bit-rates and without audio are used
in the following three examples.<br>
Resulting fps encoding counts or speeds are
the same in all cases; I don't know why.<br>

<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">It was also
interesting to standardize that the corresponding
ffmpeg syntax above works for both vaapi/qsv and

- replace vaapi with qsv in 1) 2) and 3) above<br>
- and if applicable: replace hevc with av1 in 1) and

<div>yes, last four lines seem say that qsv and vaapi AV1
encoders use <b> wildly</b> different defaults for
bitrate ....<br>

<br>
Yes, and it looks like especially av1_qsv is highly optimized,
because it is not bad to look at. The 10x larger av1_vaapi is at
bit sharper and smoother at pan/tilt movements (I used tripod for
the original source camcording to a HDMI connected BD hyperdeck
shuttle. Later I transcoded this test file to cfhd as intermediate
format with ffmpeg).<br>
Another thing I mentioned in my first post here, is that the
encoding speed in all these cases independent of bitrate, looks to
be about the same 45-46 fps<br>
<br>
I add here the ffprobe outputs to compare for the two latter
lines:<br>
