Description

This extension builds upon the VK_KHR_video_decode_queue extension by adding support for decoding elementary video stream sequences compliant with the H.264/AVC video compression standard.

Note

This extension was promoted to KHR from the provisional extension VK_EXT_video_decode_h264.
