+ * Intel QSV-accelerated transcoding example.
+ *
+ * @example qsv_transcode.c
+ * This example shows how to do QSV-accelerated transcoding and how to
+ * dynamically change encoder's option.
+ * Usage: qsv_transcode input_stream codec output_stream initial option
+ *                      { frame_number new_option }
+ * e.g: - qsv_transcode input.mp4 h264_qsv output_h264.mp4 "g 60"
+ *      - qsv_transcode input.mp4 hevc_qsv output_hevc.mp4 "g 60 async_depth 1"
+ *                      100 "g 120"
+ *         (initialize codec with gop_size 60 and change it to 120 after 100
+ *          frames)
