OVERVIEW
/********************************************************************/
XvMC extends the X-Video extension (Xv) and makes use of the
familar concept of the XvPort. Ports have attributes that can be set
and queried through Xv. In XvMC ports can also have hardware motion
compensation contexts created for use with them. Ports which support
XvImages (ie. they have an "XV_IMAGE" port encoding as described in
the Xv version 2.2 API addendum) can be queried for the list of XvMCSurface
types they support. If they support any XvMCSurface types an
XvMCContext can be created for that port.
An XvMCContext describes the state of the motion compensation
pipeline. An individual XvMCContext can be created for use with
a single port, surface type, motion compensation type, width and
height combination. For example, a context might be created for a
particular port that does MPEG-2 motion compensation on 720 x 480
4:2:0 surfaces. Once the context is created, referencing it implies
the port, surface type, size and the motion compensation type. Contexts
may be "direct" or "indirect". For indirect contexts the X server
renders all video using the data passed to it by the client. For
direct contexts the client libraries render the video with little
or no interaction with the X server.
XvMCSurfaces are buffers into which the motion compensation
hardware can render. The data in the buffers themselves are not client
accessible and may be stored in a hardware-specific format. Any
number of buffers can be created for use with a particular context
(resources permitting).
XvMC provides video acceleration starting at one of two places
in the video pipeline. Acceleration starting at the first point,
which we shall call the "Motion Compensation" level, begins after the
the inverse quantization and IDCT at the place where motion compensation
is to be applied. The second point, which we shall call the "IDCT"
level, begins before the IDCT just after the inverse quantization.
Rendering is done by presenting the library with a target XvMCSurface
and up to two reference XvMCSurfaces for the motion compensation, a
buffer of 8x8 blocks and a command buffer which describes how to
use the 8x8 blocks along with motion compensation vectors to construct
the data in the target XvMCSurface. When the pipeline starts at the
IDCT level, Xv will perform the IDCT on the blocks before performing
the motion compensation. A function is provided to copy/overlay a
portion of the XvMCSurface to a drawable with arbitrary scaling.
XvMCSubpictures are separate surfaces that may be blended with the
target surface. Any number of XvMCSubpictures may be created for use
with a context (resources permitting). Both "backend" and "frontend"
subpicture behavior are supported.

This function renders the macroblocks passed to it. It will not
return until it has read all of the macroblocks, however, rendering
will usually not be completed by that time. The return of this

To synchronize rendering see the section on sychronization below.

target_surface -
past_surface -
furture_surface -
The target_surface is required. If the future and past
surfaces are NULL, the target_surface is an "Intra" frame.
If the past surface is provided but not the future surface,
the target_surface is a "Predicted Inter" frame.
If both past and future surfaces are provided, the
target_surface is a "Bidirectionally-predicted Inter" frame.
Specifying a future surface without a past surface results
in a BadMatch.
All surfaces must belong to the same context.
picture_structure - XVMC_TOP_FIELD, XVMC_BOTTOM_FIELD or
XVMC_FRAME_PICTURE.
flags - Flags may include:
XVMC_SECOND_FIELD - For field pictures this indicates whether
the current field (top or bottom) is first
or second in the sequence.
num_macroblocks - The number of XvMCMacroBlock structures to execute in
the macroblock_array.
first_macroblock - The index of the first XvMCMacroBlock to process in the
macroblock_array.
blocks - The array of XvMCBlocks to be referenced by the XvMCMacroBlocks.
The data in the individual blocks are in raster scan order and
should be clamped to the limits specific to the acceleration
level. For motion compensation level acceleration this is 8
bits for Intra and 9 bits for non-Intra data. At the IDCT level
this is 12 bits.
Errors:
XvMCBadContext - The context is not valid.

)
The behavior of these two functions is different depending on whether
or not the XVMC_BACKEND_SUBPICTURE flag is set in the XvMCSurfaceInfo.
XVMC_BACKEND_SUBPICTURE set:
XvMCBlendSubpicture associates the subpicture with the target_surface.
Both will be displayed at the next call to XvMCPutSurface. Additional
blends before the call to XvMCPutSurface simply overrides the association.
Both the target_surface and subpicture will query XVMC_DISPLAYING from
the call to XvMCPutSurface until they are no longer displaying. It is
safe to associate the subpicture and target_surface before rendering has
completed (while they still query XVMC_RENDERING) but it is not safe to
call XvMCPutSurface at that time.
XvMCBlendSubpicture2 copies the source_surface to the target_surface
and associates the subpicture with the target_surface. This essentially
calls XvMCBlendSubpicture on the target_surface after the copy. Both
the subpicture and target_surface will query XVMC_DISPLAYING from the
call to XvMCPutSurface until they are no longer displaying. The
source_surface will not query XVMC_DISPLAYING as a result of this function.
The copy is pipelined with the rendering and will cause XVMC_RENDERING
to be queried until the copy is done.
XVMC_BACKEND_SUBPICTURE not set ("frontend" behavior):
XvMCBlendSubpicture is a no-op in this case.
XvMCBlendSubpicture2 blends the source_surface and subpicture and
puts it in the target_surface. This does not effect the status of
the source surface but will cause the target_surface to query
XVMC_RENDERING until the blend is completed.
display - The connection to the server.
subpicture - The subpicture to be blended into the video.
target_surface - The surface to be displayed with the blended subpicture.
source_surface - Source surface prior to blending.
subx -
suby -
subw -
subh - The rectangle from the subpicture to be blended.
surfx -
surfy -
surfw -
surfh - The rectangle in the XvMCSurface to blend the subpicture rectangle
into. If XVMC_SUBPICTURE_INDEPENDENT_SCALING is not set in the
XvMCSurfaceInfo subw must be equal to surfw and subh must be
equal to surfh height or else a BadValue error occurs.
Errors:
XvMCBadSurface - Any of the surfaces are invalid.
XvMCBadSubpicture - The subpicture is invalid.
BadMatch - The subpicture or any of the surfaces do not belong to the
same context.
BadValue - XVMC_SUBPICTURE_INDEPENDENT_SCALING is set and the source
and destination rectangles are different sizes.

ATTRIBUTES
/********************************************************************/
Context specific attribute functions are provided. These are
similar to their Xv Counterparts XvQueryPortAttributes, XvSetPortAttribute
and XvGetPortAttribute but their state is specific to the context.
XvAttribute *
XvMCQueryAttributes (
Display *display,
XvMCContext *context,
int *number
)
An array of XvAttributes of size "number" is returned by this function.
If there are no attributes, NULL is returned and number is set to 0.
The array may be freed with XFree().
display - The connection to the server.
context - The context whos attributes we are querying.
number - The returned number of recognized atoms.
Errors:
XvMCBadContext - The context is invalid.
Status
XvMCSetAttribute (
Display *display,
XvMCContext *context,
Atom attribute,
int value
)
This function sets a context-specific attribute and returns Success
if no error has occurred.
display - The connection to the server.
context - The context for which the attribute change is to go into effect.
attribute - The X Atom of the attribute to be changed.
value - The new value of the attribute.
Errors:
XvMCBadContext - The context is not valid.
BadValue - An invalid value was specified.
BadMatch - This attribute is not defined for this context.
Status
XvMCGetAttribute (
Display *display,
XvMCContext *context,
Atom attribute,
int *value
)
This function queries a context-specific attribute and return
Success and the value if no error has occurred.
display - The connection to the server.
context - The context whos attribute we are querying.
attribute - The X Atom of the attribute to be retrieved.
value - The returned attribute value.
Errors:
XvMCBadContext - The context is not valid.
BadMatch - This attribute is not defined for this context.
