 ### Via VAAPI
 
-VAAPI supports automatic profile selection so it will work automatically with both H.264 and H.265 streams. VAAPI is recommended for all generations of Intel-based CPUs.

+### Via Quicksync
-
-With some of the processors, like the J4125, the default driver `iHD` doesn't seem to work correctly for hardware acceleration. You may need to change the driver to `i965` by adding the following environment variable `LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965` to your docker-compose file or [in the `frigate.yaml` for HA OS users](advanced.md#environment_vars).

-### Via Quicksync (>=10th Generation only)
-
-If VAAPI does not work for you, you can try QSV if your processor supports it. QSV must be set specifically based on the video encoding of the stream.
