On PCs this -is typically handled by an associated video4linux device, e.g. -**/dev/video**, which allows scaling and defining output windows. - -Some Digital TV cards don’t have their own MPEG decoder, which results in the -omission of the audio and video device as well as the video4linux -device. - -The ioctls that deal with SPUs (sub picture units) and navigation -packets are only supported on some MPEG decoders made for DVD playback. - -These ioctls were also used by V4L2 to control MPEG decoders implemented -in V4L2. The use of these ioctls for that purpose has been made obsolete -and proper V4L2 ioctls or controls have been created to replace that -functionality. - - -.. toctree:: - :maxdepth: 1 - - video_types - video_function_calls |
