HW HEVC encode failed

Hi, Experts

I try to run sample_encode under Intel Media SDK Samples 2016 6.0.0.142.
​It works well when I encode AVC, but failed when I encode HEVC.

Do you know why?

The log is as follows:

.\sample_encode.exe h265 -i pedestrian_area_1080p25.yuv -o pedestrian_area_1080p25.265 -w 1920 -h 1080 -u speed -hw

to get hardware hevc encoding you need at leat Skylake, which is 6th generation. Yours is 5th generation Broadwell. you may use software or upgrade
