help with hevc_qsv

[leoncheong]

I am able to use X264 to encode my video. However, if I change it to hevc_qsv, nothing happened and get a zero byte file. I am experimenting with intel GPU. I have an Intel Coffee Lake i3.

Here is the screen capture.

When you have a dedicated GPU you must first enalbe the igpu in your bios when im remembering correctly.

This worked for me:

I think your main problem is the choice of media output container. You put "got2.avi" as output. The AVI container does not support hevc. Use got2.mkv using the Matroska format instead.
Also make sure your cpu/gpu supports hevc qsv hardware encode and that you have the latest intel graphics drivers installed.
