Also, one question to the OP: What version/variant of the Media SDK did you use to build FFmpeg? Is it the one issued in the licensed Media SDK or the opensource iMSDK (see https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK)?
Either way, you may need to insert a hwupload filter into the video filters with a fixed frame pool size, as shown below: ffmpeg -hwaccel qsv -vcodec h264_qsv -i input-file -acodec aac -ac 2 -b:a 48k -vcodec h264_qsv -b:v 2000k -vf "hwupload=extra_hw_frames=10,scale_qsv=960:720" -g 25 -r 25.0 -f flv output-file Should that bring you any issues (such as a fallback to software-based encoding), you may also pick up the h/w device for qsv as shown below: ffmpeg -init_hw_device qsv=qsv:MFX_IMPL_hw_any -hwaccel qsv -filter_hw_device qsv -vcodec h264_qsv -i input-file -acodec aac -ac 2 -b:a 48k -vcodec h264_qsv -b:v 2000k -vf "hwupload=extra_hw_frames=10,scale_qsv=960:720" -g 25 -r 25.0 -f flv output-file See that with the second command: (a). We initialize a hwaccel device named qsv, picking the IMPL_hw_any qsv platform device, and (b). Specify that we want to use that device for both hwaccel (-hwaccel qsv) and for the video filter chain (-filter_hw_device qsv). (c). The extra_hw_frames=n option is used to set an initial pool size. If it's feeding into a scaler, then probably 2 or 3 frames are sufficient, but if it's feeding into an encoder with look-ahead enabled (LA-BRC with target usage equivalent of 1), then you might need over 100. As such, it's currently under user control. Test and report back.
