      - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MPEG``
      - 'MPEG'
      - MPEG multiplexed stream. The actual format is determined by
	extended control ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_STREAM_TYPE``, see
	:ref:`mpeg-control-id`.

      - ``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 <v4l2-mpeg-h264>`.  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_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 <v4l2-mpeg-mpeg2>`.
	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``

    * .. _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 <v4l2-mpeg-vp8>`.
	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

      - ``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``
