Comment (by maximbaz):

 To add some (hopefully helpful) details:

 - sway maintainers mentioned that the root cause of the issue is that
 ffmpeg doesnt support modifiers [1]
 - just like discussed here [2], Intel GPUs use I915_FORMAT_MOD_Y_TILED_CCS
 modifier (0x100000000000004), which uses two planes: compressed texture +
 color surface
 - I confirm that my GPU uses exactly the same I915_FORMAT_MOD_Y_TILED_CCS
 modifier
 - I saw that kmsgrab supports {{{ -format_modifier }}} flag, but whether I
 use {{{ -format_modifier 0x100000000000004 }}} or {{{ -format_modifier
 72057594037927940 }}} (decimal value) I still get the same error.
     - ffmpeg contains this in the verbose log: {{{ Reading option
 '-format_modifier' ... matched as AVOption 'format_modifier' with argument
 '0x100000000000004'. }}}


 Could it be just a misconfiguration on our side? Or a missing support for
 this specific DRM modifier?
