VP9 hw encoding seems to not support options below.

--colormatrix bt2020nc --colorprim bt2020 --transfer smpte2084 --chromaloc 2 --aud

Please remove these options and try again.

I'll add check for them and disable it automatically when not supported in the next release.

I still have the issue :

I checked further and it seems the error is caused from QSVEnc 7.08 and later which enabled Hyper Encode (as VP9 does not support).

Adding --hyper-mode off might help avoiding this issue. I'll also have next release to avoid this error.

[draco1544]

Thank a lot, vp9 encoding finally working !

[rigaya]

QSVEnc 7.17 will no longer require --hyper-mode off to use VP9 encoding.
