 The Intel MFX SDK 1.1 (i.e. with MINOR=1) is VERY old. It was announced
 with Sandy Bridge and does not have many current features like h265
 processing etc. Latest Intel SDK has version 1.16. So using 1.9 is some
 kind of compromise to all necessary features.
 In general it is not comfortable to change MINOR depending by hardware and
 installed driver, I believe here some smart tuning necessary.
