The actual format is determined by extended control ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_STREAM_TYPE``, see :ref:`mpeg-control-id`. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-H264: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264`` - 'H264' - H264 video elementary stream with start codes. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-H264-NO-SC: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264_NO_SC`` - 'AVC1' - H264 video elementary stream without start codes. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-H264-MVC: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264_MVC`` - 'M264' - H264 MVC video elementary stream. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-H264-SLICE-RAW: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264_SLICE_RAW`` - 'S264' - H264 parsed slice data, without the start code and as extracted from the H264 bitstream. This format is adapted for stateless video decoders that implement an H264 pipeline (using the :ref:`mem2mem` and :ref:`media-request-api`). Metadata associated with the frame to decode are required to be passed through the ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_SPS``, ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_PPS``, ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_SCALING_MATRIX``, ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_SLICE_PARAMS`` and ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_DECODE_PARAMS`` controls. See the :ref:`associated Codec Control IDs `. Exactly one output and one capture buffer must be provided for use with this pixel format. The output buffer must contain the appropriate number of macroblocks to decode a full corresponding frame to the matching capture buffer. .. note:: This format is not yet part of the public kernel API and it is expected to change. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-H263: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_H263`` - 'H263' - H263 video elementary stream. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-MPEG1: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MPEG1`` - 'MPG1' - MPEG1 video elementary stream. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-MPEG2: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MPEG2`` - 'MPG2' - MPEG2 video elementary stream. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-MPEG2-SLICE: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MPEG2_SLICE`` - 'MG2S' - MPEG-2 parsed slice data, as extracted from the MPEG-2 bitstream. This format is adapted for stateless video decoders that implement a MPEG-2 pipeline (using the :ref:`mem2mem` and :ref:`media-request-api`). Metadata associated with the frame to decode is required to be passed through the ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MPEG2_SLICE_PARAMS`` control and quantization matrices can optionally be specified through the ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MPEG2_QUANTIZATION`` control. See the :ref:`associated Codec Control IDs `. Exactly one output and one capture buffer must be provided for use with this pixel format. The output buffer must contain the appropriate number of macroblocks to decode a full corresponding frame to the matching capture buffer. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-MPEG4: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MPEG4`` - 'MPG4' - MPEG4 video elementary stream. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-XVID: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_XVID`` - 'XVID' - Xvid video elementary stream. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-VC1-ANNEX-G: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_VC1_ANNEX_G`` - 'VC1G' - VC1, SMPTE 421M Annex G compliant stream. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-VC1-ANNEX-L: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_VC1_ANNEX_L`` - 'VC1L' - VC1, SMPTE 421M Annex L compliant stream. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-VP8: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_VP8`` - 'VP80' - VP8 video elementary stream. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-VP8-FRAME: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_VP8_FRAME`` - 'VP8F' - VP8 parsed frame, as extracted from the container. This format is adapted for stateless video decoders that implement a VP8 pipeline (using the :ref:`mem2mem` and :ref:`media-request-api`). Metadata associated with the frame to decode is required to be passed through the ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_VP8_FRAME_HEADER`` control. See the :ref:`associated Codec Control IDs `. Exactly one output and one capture buffer must be provided for use with this pixel format. The output buffer must contain the appropriate number of macroblocks to decode a full corresponding frame to the matching capture buffer. .. note:: This format is not yet part of the public kernel API and it is expected to change. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-VP9: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_VP9`` - 'VP90' - VP9 video elementary stream. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-HEVC: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_HEVC`` - 'HEVC' - HEVC/H.265 video elementary stream. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-FWHT: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_FWHT`` - 'FWHT' - Video elementary stream using a codec based on the Fast Walsh Hadamard Transform. This codec is implemented by the vicodec ('Virtual Codec') driver. See the codec-fwht.h header for more details. * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-FWHT-STATELESS: - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_FWHT_STATELESS`` - 'SFWH' - Same format as V4L2_PIX_FMT_FWHT but requires stateless codec implementation.
