Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm sorry I should have explained that better.
The first few seconds the modifier is linear, then it changes to
I915_FORMAT_MOD_X_TILED.
That I can encode I915_FORMAT_MOD_X_TILED is more important.

Is it nevertheless possible to encode I915_FORMAT_MOD_X_TILED?

1.20.1-1ubuntu1

Am I correct in assuming that I would need version 1.22 of gst-plugins-bad ?
I'll have to see how I can do that since the ubuntu packagemanager is
still on 1.20.3-1ubuntu6

But I will try to switch to VA and report back.
