Fixes #4677 : pkg link https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/vpl-gpu-rt/

Without this driver many enterprise type PCs with integrated Intel graphics fail to open (eg: obs-studio)

Sadly there also seems to be no mention of it on wiki page perhaps someone can change that :)

Does it also need libvpl according to your link ? On my Dell the runtime only sufficed, but I'm not sure.

Using the Search Wiki feature under Package Actions at the top right corner of the package link you provided I found this:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/FFmpeg#Intel_QuickSync_(QSV)

Maybe only the runtime suffices in your use case because you have libmfx installed as a dependency of ffmpeg. You mention OBS and there is this too:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Open_Broadcaster_Software#QuickSync_returns_%22Error_creating_a_MFX_session%22

You probably also have onevpl (libvpl) as a dependency of ffmpeg.

So we should probably add libvpl too I'm guessing
