Yes, it not a concept in AV1.

nvenc h264/hevc/av1 encoders provide the same qp option:

libavcodec/nvenc_av1.c:    { "qp",           "Constant quantization parameter
rate control method",
libavcodec/nvenc_h264.c:    { "qp",           "Constant quantization parameter
rate control method",
libavcodec/nvenc_hevc.c:    { "qp",           "Constant quantization parameter
rate control method",

May we provide the same qp option for vaapi h264/hevc/av1 encoders too? User
will be able to use same options when using these encoders.

Thanks
Haihao
