Best way to get Intel QSV working right in Linux on GUI

Post by F J Walter »

Description of problem or question:

I haven't been able to find a way of getting QSV to work on Linux where h.264 works. h.265 (HEVC) is ok, but for h.264 the encode fails after a few seconds. The error shown in the activity log varies but is always accompanied by "(-21)".

The portion it encoded before it failed looks fine, and seems to be a perfectly valid video, except that it's only the first few seconds.

There is some intermittance in this issue. Sometimes it fails before encoding any, but it always fails at some stage near the start of the video, within the first 6 seconds or so of footage.

Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

Install flatpak Handbrake and Intel Media SDK. Use 1080p source, and encode to Intel QSV h.264.

Encoding on a Gemini Lake processor (same generation as Kaby Lake).

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

Tried 1.3.3 and nightly with same result. Tried both the flathub and downloadable flatpak version of 1.3.3.


Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

Debian stable (Buster) but with backported modern kernel.


HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log)

WILL EDIT THIS WITH THE ACTIVITY LOG - PLEASE STAY TUNED

Looks like the activity log includes a successful h.265 encode as well as the failed h.264. The problematic one is at the bottom of the log.

If you end up spending a lot of time on this, you're going to wish you hadn't.
QSV is an absolutely horrid encoder, and that goes ^10 for h264. You'll need to run at ~CQ12, or about 1.5 - 2x the file size of x264 to even get "close."

I appreciate the advice. I did manage to get it working in ffmpeg using va-api. Your point about it being a higher file size for suitable quality compared to x264 seems legit. Still, it seems like a reasonable trade-off when space isn't too much of a premium, and it looks like QSV has improved quality a lot since I tried it on Sandy Bridge a long time ago, especially the new ICQ rate control. I'll be investigating more, but my expectations are realistic.

Yes, your expectations for speed are realistic.
