Package: ffmpeg Version: 7:4.1.3-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When trying to convert a video using h264_vaapi codec there is two way to define the quality of the videos: - With the 'qp' parameters (works like crf setting of libx264) - with bitrate control (using -b:v xk). Only the bitrate control setting works, the qp parameters is not working (it seem to be encoding as 'lossless' setting with bitrate more than 30000kbits/s - some test produce bitrate at 60Mbits/s), using the same 'qp' parameters on Debian Stretch (ffmpeg 3.3.9) works as expected. Tested on two computers just upgraded to Debian Buster where ffmpeg and vaapi was working fine. To reproduce take any video as input and encode with: $ ffmpeg -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i foo.mp4 \ -vf 'format=nv12,hwupload' -c:V h264_vaapi -qp 23 -an bar.mp4 Change the value of -qp to anything within the range 0 to 51. You can check the -qp setting of h264_vaapi codec using: $ ffmpeg -h encoder=h264_vaapi Unfortunatly I can't try with static build from ffmpeg because of bug #68 (https://github.com/zimbatm/ffmpeg-static/issues/68). Neither with version from snapcraft as vaapi doesn't work either. This issue is probably more on libavcodec side than on ffmpeg.
