Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, that seems to be only tangentially related to my scenario because:

1) The resolutions of each input stream do not change over time.

2) I can use software decoding and I do not need to insert any scale filters before sending the streams to hardware:

ffmpeg -init_hw_device vaapi=hw -filter_hw_device hw \
 -i rtmp://localhost/stream1 \
 -i rtmp://localhost/stream2 \
 -filter_complex "[0:v]format=nv12,hwupload=extra_hw_frames=120[i0];[1:v]format=nv12,hwupload=extra_hw_frames=120[i1];[i0][i1]overlay_vaapi=w=500" \
 -c:v h264_vaapi -global_quality 25 -g 50 -r 25 -an -f null -
 
The above command works regardless of whether the input resolutions are the same, or different. The CPU usage is quite low, but still noticeable. Note that even if some kind of filter does get automatically inserted, it does not interfere with the videos themselves in any way - otherwise, I would have noticed it long ago either because of excessive CPU usage, or the resolution and/or the content of the output stream being different from what is expected, or both.

It would also be, in principle, fundamentally wrong to apply any kind of software processing in a (theoretically) purely hardware filter pipeline - not to mention pointless due to the overlay filter in the end, which performs its own scaling anyway.

P.S. sorry for top-posting the previous response, I forget it's not customary because I very rarely use mailing lists, only when there is no other option.

Kind regards,
