[FFmpeg-user] VAAPI encoding error

Hi,

I am trying to encode raw yuv file using VAAPI hardware acceleration on a machine with i7-6700 CPU running Debian 9 “Stretch” but I am getting error “A hardware frames reference is required to associate the encoding device.”. I have searched internet but couldn’t find anything related to this error message. I have attached log with the error. Could anyone suggest solution for this problem?

Thanks
Victor
