 * \section intro Introduction
 *
 * The main motivation for VA-API (Video Acceleration API) is to
 * enable hardware accelerated video decode and encode at various
 * entry-points (VLD, IDCT, Motion Compensation etc.) for the
 * prevailing coding standards today (MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP/H.263, MPEG-4
 * AVC/H.264, VC-1/VMW3, and JPEG).
 *
 * VA-API is split into several modules:
 * - \ref api_core
 * - \ref api_enc_core
 * - \ref api_enc_h264

/* 
Overview 

The VA API is intended to provide an interface between a video decode/encode/display
application (client) and a hardware accelerator (server), to off-load 
video decode/encode/display operations from the host to the hardware accelerator at various 
entry-points.

The basic operation steps are:

- Negotiate a mutually acceptable configuration with the server to lock
  down profile, entrypoints, and other attributes that will not change on 
  a frame-by-frame basis.
- Create a decode context which represents a "virtualized" hardware decode 
  device
- Get and fill decode buffers with picture level, slice level and macroblock 
  level data (depending on entrypoints)
- Pass the decode buffers to the server to decode the current frame

Initialization & Configuration Management 

- Find out supported profiles
- Find out entrypoints for a given profile
- Find out configuration attributes for a given profile/entrypoint pair
- Create a configuration for use by the decoder

/* VC-1 Bitplane Buffer 
There will be at most three bitplanes coded in any picture header. To send 
the bitplane data more efficiently, each byte is divided in two nibbles, with
each nibble carrying three bitplanes for one macroblock.  The following table
shows the bitplane data arrangement within each nibble based on the picture
type.

Picture Type    Bit3            Bit2            Bit1            Bit0
I or BI                         OVERFLAGS       ACPRED          FIELDTX
P                               MYTYPEMB        SKIPMB          DIRECTMB
B                               FORWARDMB       SKIPMB          DIRECTMB

Within each byte, the lower nibble is for the first MB and the upper nibble is 
for the second MB.  E.g. the lower nibble of the first byte in the bitplane
buffer is for Macroblock #1 and the upper nibble of the first byte is for 
Macroblock #2 in the first row.
