C Specification

The following bits can be specified in VkVideoDecodeUsageInfoKHR::videoUsageHints as a hint about the video decode use case:

// Provided by VK_KHR_video_decode_queue
typedef enum VkVideoDecodeUsageFlagBitsKHR {
    VK_VIDEO_DECODE_USAGE_DEFAULT_KHR = 0,
    VK_VIDEO_DECODE_USAGE_TRANSCODING_BIT_KHR = 0x00000001,
    VK_VIDEO_DECODE_USAGE_OFFLINE_BIT_KHR = 0x00000002,
    VK_VIDEO_DECODE_USAGE_STREAMING_BIT_KHR = 0x00000004,
} VkVideoDecodeUsageFlagBitsKHR;

Description

Note

There are no restrictions on the combination of bits that can be specified by the application. However, applications should use reasonable combinations in order for the implementation to be able to select the most appropriate mode of operation for the particular use case.
