Description
The ffmpeg wiki lists https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Hardware/QuickSync
the later intel cpus as being able to encode vp8 and vp9 in hardware. It would be nice, if ffmpeg supports this by adding respective vp8_qsv and vp9_qsv encoders.

VP8 encoding is not supported by MSDK, see https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK/issues/947
VP9 encoding is supported by MSDK, but only available on Intel IceLake platform which hasn't been released. I will add it once IceLake is launched.

BTW, vp8 and vp9 encoding can be supported by FFmpeg-vaapi, probably you can have a try, but you need to take care of which driver can be supported on your HW platform. What is your prefer HW platform?

Hmm, seems I misread something then, because I was under the impression when I wrote my initial post, that my new Coffe Lake-S (i9600k) is able to encode in vp9, but maybe I got that confused with my GPU where AMD claims vp9 is possible, but ffmpeg is missing support for that as well (but I realise this here is the wrong place to ask for it as this has to be in _amf and not _qsv).

Ok, Let me to close this ticket. You can create a new one for amf encoders if you would like.

VP9 encoding is supported by MSDK, but only available on Intel IceLake platform which hasn't been released. I will add it once IceLake is launched.
QSV support for VP9 encoding was added on 2019-11-04.
A few months ago Intel updated their MediaSDK with VP9 hardware encode: https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK/tree/master/_studio/vp9e_hw
A few other people are also looking into it: https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK/issues/1005
On Linux using hardware acceleration is already possible using the
vp8_vaapiandvp9_vaapiencoders using the VAAPI (Video Acceleration API).
