Comment:

 Since libmfx does not support dynamic sizing of frame pools,
 extra_hw_frames is needed to set how many frames will be available in the
 pool created by hwupload which is then used at the encoder input.  Setting
 a high lookahead depth means the encoder will consume a large number of
 frames without returning them, so if extra_hw_frames is not large enough
 the pool will be exhausted as indicated by the error message above.

 Set extra_hw_frames to reflect how many frames you actually intend to use.
 With a lookahead depth of 100 you need at least 100, and probably more
 because the encoder will also store past frames to use for reference.
