+@subsection Common Options
+Following options are used by all qsv encoders.
+
+@table @option
+@item @var{async_depth}
+Specifies how many asynchronous operations an application performs
+before the application explicitly synchronizes the result. If zero,
+the value is not specified.
+
+@item @var{avbr_accuracy}
+Accuracy of the AVBR ratecontrol (unit of tenth of percent).
+
+@item @var{avbr_convergence}
+Convergence of the AVBR ratecontrol (unit of 100 frames)
+
+The parameters @var{avbr_accuracy} and @var{avbr_convergence} are for the
+average variable bitrate control (AVBR) algorithm.
+The algorithm focuses on overall encoding quality while meeting the specified
+bitrate, @var{target_bitrate}, within the accuracy range @var{avbr_accuracy},
+after a @var{avbr_Convergence} period. This method does not follow HRD and the
+instant bitrate is not capped or padded.

+
+@item @var{low_power}
+For encoders set this flag to ON to reduce power consumption and GPU usage.

+
+@subsection H264 options
+These options are used by h264_qsv
+
+@table @option
+@item @var{extbrc}
+Extended bitrate control.
+
+@item @var{recovery_point_sei}
+Set this flag to insert the recovery point SEI message at the beginning of every
+intra refresh cycle.
+
+@item @var{rdo}
+Enable rate distortion optimization.
+
+@item @var{max_frame_size}
+Maximum encoded frame size in bytes.
+
+@item @var{max_slice_size}
+Maximum encoded slice size in bytes.
+
+@item @var{bitrate_limit}
+Toggle bitrate limitations.
+Modifies bitrate to be in the range imposed by the QSV encoder. Setting this
+flag off may lead to violation of HRD conformance. Mind that specifying bitrate
+below the QSV encoder range might significantly affect quality. If on this
+option takes effect in non CQP modes: if bitrate is not in the range imposed
+by the QSV encoder, it will be changed to be in the range.
+
+@item @var{mbbrc}
+Setting this flag enables macroblock level bitrate control that generally
+improves subjective visual quality. Enabling this flag may have negative impact
+on performance and objective visual quality metric.
+
+@item @var{adaptive_i}
+This flag controls insertion of I frames by the QSV encoder. Turn ON this flag
+to allow changing of frame type from P and B to I.
+
+@item @var{adaptive_b}
+This flag controls changing of frame type from B to P.
+

+Specifies intra refresh type. The major goal of intra refresh is improvement of
+error resilience without significant impact on encoded bitstream size caused by
+I frames. The SDK encoder achieves this by encoding part of each frame in
+refresh cycle using intra MBs. @var{none} means no refresh. @var{vertical} means
+vertical refresh, by column of MBs.
