[Libva] Noob questions regarding VAAPI encoding.. Sorry guys

[dexterp1000 .]

Okay, so I am using an intel Haswell processor that is Quicksync
compatible. I know that VAAPI Encoding can do a similair job, but from the
comfort of an operating system that I actually want to use. It's no fun
switching back and forth between operating systems.

So I am trying my hardest to figure out how I can get VAAPI encoding to
work. The first thing I tried was the GUI option of transmageddon..
However, I can not in any circumstance get Transmageddon to make use of the
GPU.

Here's a pastebin link to vainfo

I appear to get closer to achieving my desired results through gstreamer
when using the below commands


   1. gst-launch-1.0 filesrc blocksize=10000000 location=infile.mp4 !
   videoparse format=i420 height=1080 width=1920 framerate=30/1 !
   vaapipostproc ! queue ! vaapiencode_h264 ! qtmux ! filesink
   location=test2.mp4


Running this spits out the this error http://pastebin.com/Rd4Xzwh5

Again, I apologise for the incredibly dumb questions.

My specs are

Intel® Pentium(R) CPU G3258 @ 3.20GHz × 2
Graphics Intel® Haswell Desktop
64bit

Thank you
