Well, first, I really doubt that the Intel chips actually have VP8 and
VP9 encoding in hardware and not in an software driver. Actually I'm
quite sure they don't.

Then, adding 3 encoders to the VAAPI code directly in FFmpeg seems way
better than adding yet another library, that will be unmaintained, buggy
and riddled with security issues.

I don't understand this new fetichism of adding external dependencies to
FFmpeg, because we can.

With my kindest regards,
