export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(dirname $0)/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

If you use run.sh, you can run it after setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and other settings.

And, if you want to encode with QSV, you need to run it with root privileges.

sample:

$ sudo ./run.sh ffmpeg -y \
    -init_hw_device qsv:hw \
    -hwaccel qsv \
    -hwaccel_output_format qsv \
    -i https://github.com/bower-media-samples/big-buck-bunny-1080p-60fps-30s/raw/master/video.mp4 \
    -c:v h264_qsv \
    -f mp4 \
    video-h264_qsv.mp4

Docker image release

When running in Docker, you need to mount the DRI device.

sample:

$ sudo docker run --rm -it --device=/dev/dri -v `pwd`:/workdir \
    akashisn/ffmpeg:6.0 -y \
      -loglevel verbose \
      -init_hw_device qsv:hw \
      -hwaccel qsv \
      -hwaccel_output_format qsv \
      -i video.mp4 \
      -c:v h264_qsv \
      -f mp4 \
      video-h264_qsv.mp4

Nonfree codecs

If you want to use a non-free codec(e.g. fdk-aac, libnpp ), you can generate a binary in the current directory by executing the following command.

Generated binaries cannot be redistributed due to licensing issues. Please use them for your own use only.

Technical information

Intel Quick Sync Video

QSV (Quick Sync Video) was previously supported by libmfx.so provided by MediaSDK, but since the development of MediaSDK has been discontinued, it has been taken over by the successor, oneAPI's oneVPL (libvpl.so). In FFmpeg, the option --enable-libvpl was added from version 6.0. Therefore, in this build, only version 6.0 supports QSV through oneVPL's dispatcher, and previous versions are built using the old MediaSDK dispatcher. Note that the MediaSDK may no longer be usable as it lacks support for new hardware. Moreover, oneVPL supports older hardware by calling MediaSDK. Therefore, unless there is a reason to use an older version of FFmpeg, it is recommended to use the version compatible with oneVPL.

QSV in VM

To execute QSV (Quick Sync Video) on a Virtual Machine, it is necessary to pass through Intel's integrated GPU (iGPU) to the VM. Pass-through technologies include Intel GVT-g, SR-IOV, etc., and the compatibility varies depending on the generation of the CPU1. For Intel GVT-g, please refer to the ArchWiki2. In Proxmox, if you are using systemd-boot instead of GRUB, kernel parameters can be set using /etc/kernel/cmdline. Also, don't forget to apply the changes by running proxmox-boot-tool refresh. If necessary, adding kvm.ignore_msrs=1 is recommended3.

Dynamic Library

Using https://github.com/yugr/Implib.so, the dynamic library related to QSV is delay-loaded, so when you run ldd to check, it appears to have no dependencies. However, please note that it becomes necessary when using QSV. This resolves the inconvenience where FFmpeg wouldn't even start without the dynamic library even when QSV is not needed, achieving a pseudo-static link. Therefore, we have consolidated the tags which were previously separated based on whether QSV was available or not.
