            Bug ID: 108036
           Summary: VA-API implementation reports support for unsupported
                    endpoints
           Product: Mesa
           Version: 18.2
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Drivers/Gallium/radeonsi
          Assignee: dri-devel at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: notkurufu at cock.li

Videos encoded via VA-API on amd hardware using the h264 High profile end up
corrupt. This appears to be a known flaw and unsupported by mesa drivers. My
reference for this is here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104920#c8

Notably the mesa team claims that the issue is with applications using an
unsupported profile and that applications should query VA-API for supported
features. However it can be see with `vainfo` on AMD hardware that h264 High
profile support IS advertised by the drivers. So the error is not in the
applications which correctly query the information. But in the drivers
returning false information.

An example of vainfo output on AMD hardware advertising h264 High profile
support. I also have a source video and resultant reencoding at high profile
which is corrupt which is the same issue in the earlier bug where it was
claimed it was not supported.
