|
|
|
|
- ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MPEG``
|
|
- 'MPEG'

extracted from the H264 bitstream. This format is adapted for
|
|
stateless video decoders that implement an H264 pipeline

through the ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_DECODE_MODE``
|
|
and ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_START_CODE`` controls.

|
|
appropriate number of macroblocks to decode a full
|
|
corresponding frame to the matching capture buffer.

|
|
|
