libx264 works, no scaling
code:
Code: { "level": 30, "ui": 255, "uilp": 255, "platform": 1, "device": "/dev/dri/renderD128", "low_power": false, "async_depth": 2, "desired_b_depth": 0, "b_reference": 0, "rc_mode": 0, "qp": 0, "qmin": 0, "qmax": 0, "bit_rate": 0, "max_bit_rate": 0, "buff_factor": 3, "bit_rate_scale_factor": 0, "hw_denoise": 0, "hw_sharpness": 0, "quality": 0, "deinterlace": true, "height": 0, "scaling_mode": 0, "hwaccel": false, "pix_fmt": -1, "name": "libx264", "description": "libx264", "codec_name": "libx264", "profile": -99 }

h264_vaapi works but there is scaling but why?

I am not sure what player you use ... but most of players allows you to force an aspect ratio. You can force 16x9 to fix the problem.

Sorry ... I don't have an AMD system to check but from previous posts I remember most of the cases was a AMD Mesa driver issue. Try to reinstall drivers (maybe go back few versions).
