When I try to record I get the following message:

Error Message
Code: 
An unspecified error orrcured while recording

Terminal output
Code:

Where could I find any additional logs? Maybe from FFMPEG? I have no idea what's happening there.

To get hardware accelerated video encoding working - this is at least what I try to. Do you have any idea how I could do that with my current setup in a different way? HW encoding I'd like to obvious reasons like lower cpu load with an acceptable quality.

For the records, in general va-api encoding works:
Code: 
ffmpeg -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD129 -i input.mp4 -vf 'format=nv12,hwupload' -c:v h264_vaapi output.mkv

...works like a charme!
