-**NOTE:**
-  * **-vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128**, which is a shortcut to **-init_hw_device vaapi=vaapi0:/dev/dri/renderD128 -filter_hw_device vaapi0**, initializes a new hardware device of type vaapi.
-  * **-vcodec hevc_vaapi**
-  * **-vf 'format=nv12,hwupload'** creates the filtergraph and uses it to filter the stream.
-    * The encoders only accept input as VAAPI surfaces.
-    * If the input is in normal memory, it will need to be uploaded before giving the frames to the encoder; in the ffmpeg utility, the **hwupload** filter can be used for this.
-    * It will upload to a surface with the same layout as the software frame, so it may be necessary to add a format filter immediately before to get the input into the right format (hardware generally wants the **nv12** layout).
-    * The **hwupload** filter also requires a device to upload to, which needs to be defined before the filter graph is created, which is done with **-vaapi_device**.
-  * **-map 0 -c:a copy -c:s copy**:  This causes to copy the audio streams and sub without modification to the new file.
-  * **-map 0:a -c:a copy**: This causes to copy the audio streams without modification to the new file.
-  * **-qp 23**:  The video quality.
-    * The lower the value, the better will be the video quality, but also the files will be larger.
-    * The default value is 25 which is fairly good.
-    * For high-definition videos a value between 21-23 works best and produces good results.
