Description of problem: ffmpeg seems to lack the ability use VA-API for hardware accelerated encoding for VP8 and VP9, which makes it difficult for ffmpeg consumers to leverage hardware support for these codecs for streaming and video conferencing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.0.1-5.fc36 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ffmpeg -encoders | grep -P "vp\d" Actual results: ffmpeg does not report vp8_vaapi and vp9_vaapi encoder support. Expected results: ffmpeg reports vp8_vaapi and vp9_vaapi encoder support.

Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 36-final by Fedora user ngompa using the blocker tracking app because: It'd be good to ensure that vp8/vp9 VA-API encoding support is available for ffmpeg consumers (like Firefox) to use when VA-API drivers are available.
