Describe the problem you are having

I'm setting up Frigate for the first time. I've added all my cameras to my frigate config file, and successfully added my Coral USB Accelerator. When I run Frigate w/o the hardware accelerator in my config file, all the cameras come up just fine, but I get a warning in my logs telling me to enable hardware acceleration, and it provides me a link to the hardware acceleration page. I put the lines appropriate to my CPU in my config, as well as my docker config (- CAP_PERFMON), but when I restart Frigate, I don't get any camera feeds, and I get a ton of error messages in my logs, such as ffmpeg process crashed unexpectedly, error opening output files, etc.

With HW Acceleration in the config:

You are not using a valid preset, you need to use preset-intel-qsv-h264 or preset-intel-qsv-h265

I tired

ffmpeg:
hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi

which is what is listed under hardware acceleration for Intel CPUs. For 12th gen CPUs, in the table it says preset-intel-qsv-* can also be used, neither of which seem to work.
