ffmpeg hevc_vaapi: Impossible to convert between the formats supported by the filter 'Parsed_null_0' and the filter 'auto_scaler_0'
I think that it requires proper encoding parameters like -vf 'format=nv12,hwupload'
and following one-liner may work if you have VAAPI driver:
echo "Input file:" && read -r i && echo "Quality: 25=identic, 30=a bit worse but small file size, or other numbers:" && read -r q && ffmpeg -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i "$i" -vf 'format=nv12,hwupload' -c:v hevc_vaapi -f mp4 -rc_mode 1 -qp "$q" "$i.hevc.mp4"

on Linux i am trying to encode file to H€VC using hardware acceleration. Successful attempt is:
ffmpeg -v verbose -hwaccel vaapi -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i '/path/file.mkv' -vcodec libx265 -crf 28 '/path/file.mp4'
but it is slow like 30fps, "
ffmpeg -codecs|grep 265
" shows: (encoders: libx265 nvenc_hevc hevc_amf hevc_nvenc hevc_qsv hevc_v4l2m2m hevc_vaapi )so i have tried hevc_vaapi:
ffmpeg -v verbose -hwaccel vaapi -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -i '/path/file.mkv' -vcodec hevc_vaapi -crf 28 '/path/file.mp4'
but it fails:
Impossible to convert between the formats supported by the filter 'Parsed_null_0' and the filter 'auto_scaler_0' Error reinitializing filters!

$ ffmpeg -hwaccels shows "
Hardware acceleration methods: vdpau cuda vaapi qsv drm
"
$ vaapi shows this (seems like va-api is there, mesa driver)
$ ls /dev/dri/*
/dev/dri/card0 /dev/dri/renderD128
/dev/dri/by-path:
pci-0000:0a:00.0-card pci-0000:0a:00.0-render
What do you think about this error or how would you proceed to discover which ffmpeg parameters to use for HW H€VC accelerated?
Update: i think that the "-hwaccel vaapi" may be redundant parameter

-vf 'format=nv12,hwupload'
works but doesn't import the encoding speed at all
