/**
 * SECTION:element-vaapih264enc
 * @short_description: A VA-API based H.264 video encoder
 *
 * Encodes raw video streams into H.264 bitstreams.
 *
 * The #GstVaapiEncodeH264:rate-control property controls the type of
 * encoding.  In case of Constant Bitrate Encoding (CBR), the
 * #GstVaapiEncodeH264:bitrate will determine the quality of the
 * encoding.  Alternatively, one may choose to perform Constant
 * Quantizer or Variable Bitrate Encoding (VBR), in which case the
 * #GstVaapiEncodeH264:bitrate is the maximum bitrate.
 *
 * The H264 profile that is eventually used depends on a few settings.
 * If #GstVaapiEncodeH264:dct8x8 is enabled, then High profile is
 * used.  Otherwise, if #GstVaapiEncodeH264:cabac entropy coding is
 * enabled or #GstVaapiEncodeH264:max-bframes are allowed, then Main
 * Profile is in effect. The element will alway go with the maximal
 * profile available in the caps negotation and otherwise Baseline
 * profile applies. But in some cases (e.g. hardware platforms) a more
 * restrictedprofile/level may be necessary. The recommended way to
 * set a profile is to set it in the downstream caps.
 *
 * You can also set parameters to adjust the latency of encoding:
 * #GstVaapiEncodeH264:quality-level is a number between 1-7, in the
 * case of the Intel VAAPI driver, where a lower value will produce a
 * higher quality output but with more latency; meanwhile a hihg
 * number will produce a lower quality output with less latency. Also
 * you can set #GstVaapiEncodeH264:tune, if your backend supports it,
 * for low-power mode or high compression.
 *
 * ## Example launch line
 *
 * |[
 *  gst-launch-1.0 -ev videotestsrc num-buffers=60 ! timeoverlay ! vaapih264enc ! h264parse ! mp4mux ! filesink location=test.mp4
