} VkVideoSessionCreateFlagBitsKHR;Description
-
VK_VIDEO_SESSION_CREATE_PROTECTED_CONTENT_BIT_KHR specifies that the video session uses protected video content.
-
VK_VIDEO_SESSION_CREATE_ALLOW_ENCODE_PARAMETER_OPTIMIZATIONS_BIT_KHR specifies that the implementation is allowed to override video session parameters and other codec-specific encoding parameters to optimize video encode operations based on the use case information specified in the video profile and the used video encode quality level.
NoteNot specifying VK_VIDEO_SESSION_CREATE_ALLOW_ENCODE_PARAMETER_OPTIMIZATIONS_BIT_KHR does not guarantee that the implementation will not do any codec-specific parameter overrides, as certain overrides are necessary for the correct operation of the video encoder implementation due to limitations to the available encoding tools on that implementation. This flag, however, enables the implementation to apply further optimizing overrides.
-
VK_VIDEO_SESSION_CREATE_INLINE_QUERIES_BIT_KHR specifies that queries within video coding scopes using the created video session are executed inline with video coding operations.
-
VK_VIDEO_SESSION_CREATE_ALLOW_ENCODE_QUANTIZATION_DELTA_MAP_BIT_KHR specifies that the video session can be used to encode pictures with quantization delta maps.
-
VK_VIDEO_SESSION_CREATE_ALLOW_ENCODE_EMPHASIS_MAP_BIT_KHR specifies that the video session can be used to encode pictures with emphasis maps.
-
VK_VIDEO_SESSION_CREATE_INLINE_SESSION_PARAMETERS_BIT_KHR specifies that the application can specify video session parameters inline with video decode operations instead of sourcing them from the bound video session parameters object.
