Error while Encoding with QSVEncC: Invalid Image Format Descriptor when using D3D9

[quamt]

Hello @rigaya,

I'm encountering an issue while encoding a video using QSVEncC (version 7.52), Intel Arc A770 and D3D9. The encoding process fails with the following error message when using --d3d9:

Failed to create image from DX9 memory: invalid image format descriptor.
OPENCL: Failed to get OpenCL interop [out].
Break in task OPENCL: null pointer..
avout: File header not written, unexpected error!
[...]
avout: failed to write header for output file: Invalid data found when processing input

Here are the details of my system and encoding setup:

QSVEncC Version: 7.52 (r3160) OS: Windows 11 x64 (22621) [UTF-8] CPU: 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13600 [4.71GHz] (6P+8E,14C/20T) GPU: Intel Arc A770 Graphics (512EU) 300-2400MHz (31.0.101.4952) Media SDK: QuickSyncVideo (hardware encoder) FF, 1st GPU, API v1.255 Input Video Info: H.264/AVC, 1920x1080, 24000/1001 fps Encoding Settings: Various filters applied (cspconv, denoise, unsharp, etc.) Output Format: H.265/HEVC(yuv420 10bit) main10 @ Level 5 Target Usage: 1 - best Encode Mode: Constant QP (CQP) CQP Values: I:34 P:34 B:36 Scenario Info: Archive QP Limit: min: 22, max: 63 Ref Frames: 6 frames Bframes: 16 frames, B-pyramid: on Max GOP Length: 240 frames Ext. Features: WeightP WeightB GPB QPOffset pic_struct tskip ctu:64 sao:all

I've tried various troubleshooting steps but cannot resolve this issue.
This issue persists even when no filters are selected during the encoding process.

I've attempted the following troubleshooting steps to address the issue:

Checked the source video: Ensured that the source video I'm trying to encode is in a compatible format and does not have any corruption issues.

Reviewed encoding settings: I carefully reviewed them to ensure they are correctly configured.

Updated software: Verified that I am using the latest version of QSVEncC and ensured that my graphics drivers are current, as there may have been bug fixes or improvements in newer versions.

Tested with different source videos: Attempted to isolate the problem by encoding a different source video file to determine if the issue persists. This was done to help ascertain whether the problem lies with the video file or the encoding process.

Despite these troubleshooting steps, the issue still needs to be solved.

Any insights, suggestions, or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the complete cmd output:

Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm a bit confused with this... does d3d11 also fail? I mean you want to use d3d9 because d3d11 also runs into error?

If not, please try again using d3d11 and not d3d9.

Unfortunately, d3d9 support is deprecated in oneVPL for Arc GPUs. https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneVPL#onevpl-dispatcher-behavior-when-targeting-intel-gpus

Ok. Understand. I was surprised to find out that it had been removed. The d3d11 works with no issues. I will close this now. Thank you @rigaya for your feedback.
