HI Nikita,
Please always start a new thread for a new query in future :)
Try with avcenc in libva:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/vaapi/libva/tree/test/encode/avcenc
If issue persists, file a bug against libva:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=libva
If you have issue with gstreamer-vaapi but not with avcenc, then file a
bug against gstreamer-vaapi:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gstreamer-vaapi

Hello Sreerenj!
I have another question, before I asked it in this mailing list, but had no
responce.
I have used vaapi tools and gstreamer-vaapi for encoding sample FullHD video
(Big buck bunny) from yuv420 source.
I have used different settings, but I can`t get reasonable bitrate (1Mbit/s)
for FullHD video with normal quality.
Even for 10Mbit/s quality was not very good (there were artefacts sometimes).
I have tried same hw encoding on Windows, using Handbrake tool. It works much
better and I got 1Mbit/s good quality encoding.
My conclusion was that the problem is not in hardware, but with software.
I tried followings CPUs: Haswell 4770K, 4770T, 4790T, Broadwell desktop i5.
Same result. All my Haswell cpus have HD4600 gpu,
Broadwell has some more improved, but same result.
Maybe you can help me and share some of your expirience. Or encode some sample
1920x1080 video and check output?

Hello,
Thanks very much for your reply. The way you described it is what I inferred
from the source.
What I had expected was that setting the capsfilter would tell the encoder to
use whatever tools are available that are part of the specified profile. For
example, if my vainfo reports these:
VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSlice
VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointEncSlice
VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointEncSlice
I would have liked to be able to specify profile=high, and have whatever tools
are part of VAProfileH264Main selected. Indeed, I think this is how x264enc
works (and maybe gstreamer-omx too?).
I will open the bug report shortly, but, I wanted to, ask something else: If I
need to approximate the behaviour for some experiments, is it reasonable to
just ask for whatever tools are part of each profile? Is there any way to see
exactly what would be part of each profile (other than checking the standard)?
Is the set of options exported to gstreamer inclusive of everything in the
VAProfiles?
Thanks so much again,
Bill Katsak

Hi,
Right now gst-vaapi-encoder doesn't have support to negotiate the custom
profile set via capsfilter. But we are
selecting an appropriate profile based on other coding tools. We start
from "constrained-baseline" as the default choice,
then if user ask for b frame encoding or cabac entropy coding, it will
switch to "main" profile.. Similarly asking for 8x8 dct
will switch the profile to "high"..
Basically if you are not choosing any of those coding tools, it could be
enough to use constrained-baseline..
Any decoder which can support main profile should be able enough to
decode the constrained-baseline too.
Similarly high profile decoder can decode main profile too..
But adding a provision for selecting profiles as per user's choice seems
fine for me.
If you can file a bug against gstreamer-vaapi
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gstreamer-vaapi)
asking for this feature,
we can discuss it there..

I've been looking at the source this afternoon, and my interpretation of it
is that specifying the profile via caps is only serving a restrictive role, vs.
a configuration role. Obviously, I need to study it more, but is this true? To
target a different profile, do we need to specifically specify which encoding
tools that we want to use?
Thanks,
Bill

Subject: [Libva] gstreamer-vaapi strange issue
Hello,
I am not sure if this the right list for this, but I am seeing a strange
issue with gstreamer-vaapi on Intel Haswell.
I am doing some experimentation using gstreamer-vaapi on an Intel i3-4370
CPU. I am running libva 1.6.1, and libva Intel driver 1.6.0 on Ubuntu 15.04.
My issue is that I cannot seem to get the thing to do anything except
constrained baseline, despite asking it to do other profiles.
If I do something like this:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=/ramdisk/bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp4
! qtdemux ! vaapidecode ! vaapiencode_h264 ! video/x-h264,profile=high ! qtmux
! filesink location=/ramdisk/tmp.mov
It appears to work fine, but if I check with this:
avprobe -show_streams /ramdisk/tmp.mov
the output will indicate:
profile=Constrained Baseline
However, if I change the encode element to:
vaapiencode_h264 dct8x8=1
it does change the output profile.
My question is, is this correct behavior? Do we need dct8x8 to do anything
higher than Constrained Baseline? If so, why? Is this a fundamental detail of
H.264, or is this an implementation detail?
Thanks in advance for any help or pointers that you might able to give me.
-Bill
