Then add the Oibaf PPA, needed to install the latest development headers for libva: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

Sudo apt-get -y install autoconf automake build-essential libass-dev libtool pkg-config texinfo zlib1g-dev libva-dev cmake mercurial libdrm-dev libvorbis-dev libogg-dev git libx11-dev libperl-dev libpciaccess-dev libpciaccess0 xorg-dev intel-gpu-tools libwayland-dev xutils-dev libssl-dev Sudo apt update & sudo apt -y upgrade & sudo apt -y dist-upgrade I noticed that you're on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, so these instructions will do:

#Quicksync h.264 driver#

I'll document the steps needed to derive an FFmpeg build with the features you require (QuickSync) with support for extra codecs as may be needed, with extra notes on using the correct driver below: The correct driver should be set to the intel media driver, iHD, as you're using the Media SDK for QuickSync and not the VAAPI-based encoders. That occurs because you're using the wrong VAAPI driver for QuickSync. Pay attention to the output from the console: VAAPI driver: Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Skylake - 2.1.0. mpeg2_qsv MPEG-2 video (Intel Quick Sync Video acceleration) (codec mpeg2video) mjpeg_qsv MJPEG (Intel Quick Sync Video acceleration) (codec mjpeg) hevc_qsv HEVC (Intel Quick Sync Video acceleration) (codec hevc) h264_qsv H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 (Intel Quick Sync Video acceleration) (codec h264) If I do ffmpeg -encoders | grep qsv I get the following: V.
