[FFmpeg-user] hevc_vaapi mkv output fails with generic error

[Andreas Löer]

Hello everyone,

I am currently unable to transcode H264 MKV to HEVC MKV on an AMD Ryzen
3400G running openSuSE Leap 15.2. 
 
Using following command
 
ffmpeg -loglevel debug -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 -hwaccel vaapi
-hwaccel_output_format vaapi -i sample.mkv -c:v hevc_vaapi -vf
'hwdownload,format=nv12,hwupload' -rc_mode 3 -b:v 3M -profile:v 1 -tier
1 -level 153 -c:a copy output.mkv
 
I am getting follwing error message
 
[AVHWFramesContext @ 0x52a3cc0] Created surface 0x22.
[AVHWFramesContext @ 0x52a3cc0] Direct mapping disabled: deriving image
does not work: 1 (operation failed).

[AVIOContext @ 0x5284400] Statistics: 197393 bytes read, 2 seeks
 
FFmpeg static build by myself.
 
Is there anyone who can help me understanding what is going on here and
how to get this working?
I am breaking my head for 3 days now trying to solve this issue.
