Often I do ffmpeg without intel quicksync, e.g. having made a subdirectory called “a”, ffmpeg -i IMG_0001.MOV -c:a libmp3lame -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast ffff.mp4
(I know mp3 in mp4 container is a bit old fashioned, and aac is the current convention/standard, but my old video editor doesn’t like aac in there. And I know libx264 is a bit low quality these days, but it has been ok for me and I don’t think it’s the source of the problem here)
I want to try encoding with intel quicksync, as I understand it’s faster.
But I get the error
[h264_qsv @ 00000000004ddd40] Error initializing the encoder: invalid video parameters (-15)
Error initializing output stream 0:0 -- Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width
or height
Conversion failed!
