* .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-JPEG:
- ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_JPEG``
- 'JPEG'
- TBD. See also :ref:`VIDIOC_G_JPEGCOMP <VIDIOC_G_JPEGCOMP>`,
:ref:`VIDIOC_S_JPEGCOMP <VIDIOC_G_JPEGCOMP>`.

- H264 Access Unit.
The decoder expects one Access Unit per buffer.
The encoder generates one Access Unit per buffer.
If :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` reports ``V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CONTINUOUS_BYTESTREAM``
then the decoder has no requirements since it can parse all the
information from the raw bytestream.
* .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-H264-NO-SC:
- ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264_NO_SC``
- 'AVC1'

- 'S264'
- H264 parsed slice data, including slice headers, either with or
without the start code, as extracted from the H264 bitstream.
This format is adapted for stateless video decoders that implement an
H264 pipeline with the :ref:`stateless_decoder`.
This pixelformat has two modifiers that must be set at least once
through the ``V4L2_CID_STATELESS_H264_DECODE_MODE``
and ``V4L2_CID_STATELESS_H264_START_CODE`` controls.
In addition, metadata associated with the frame to decode are
required to be passed through the ``V4L2_CID_STATELESS_H264_SPS``,
``V4L2_CID_STATELESS_H264_PPS``,
``V4L2_CID_STATELESS_H264_SCALING_MATRIX``,
``V4L2_CID_STATELESS_H264_SLICE_PARAMS`` and
``V4L2_CID_STATELESS_H264_DECODE_PARAMS`` controls. See the
:ref:`associated Codec Control IDs <v4l2-codec-stateless-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.
The syntax for this format is documented in :ref:`h264`, section
7.3.2.8 "Slice layer without partitioning RBSP syntax" and the following
sections.

then the decoder has no requirements since it can parse all the
information from the raw bytestream.
* .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-MPEG2:
- ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MPEG2``
- 'MPG2'
- MPEG2 Picture. Each buffer starts with a Picture header, followed
by other headers as needed and ending with the Picture data.
If :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT` reports ``V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CONTINUOUS_BYTESTREAM``
then the decoder has no requirements since it can parse all the
information from the raw bytestream.
* .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-MPEG2-SLICE:

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``
- 'MPG4'
- MPEG4 video elementary stream.

* .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-VP8:
- ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_VP8``
- 'VP80'

compressed frame per buffer, and the decoder requires one
compressed frame per buffer.
* .. _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

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
is expected to change.
* .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-VP9:

through the following controls:
``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_HEVC_SPS``,
``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_HEVC_PPS``, and
``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_HEVC_SLICE_PARAMS``.
See the :ref:`associated Codec Control IDs <v4l2-mpeg-hevc>`.
Buffers associated with this pixel format must contain the appropriate
number of macroblocks to decode a full corresponding frame.

- 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.
