VkVideoSessionCreateFlagBitsKHR

Bits which can be set in VkVideoSessionCreateInfoKHR::flags are:

typedef enum VkVideoSessionCreateFlagBitsKHR {
    VK_VIDEO_SESSION_CREATE_PROTECTED_CONTENT_BIT_KHR = 0x00000001,
} VkVideoSessionCreateFlagBitsKHR;

• VK_VIDEO_SESSION_CREATE_PROTECTED_CONTENT_BIT_KHR specifies that the video session uses protected video content.
• VK_VIDEO_SESSION_CREATE_ALLOW_ENCODE_PARAMETER_OPTIMIZATIONS_BIT_KHR specifies that the implementation is allowed to override video session parameters and other codec-specific encoding parameters to optimize video encode operations based on the use case information specified in the video profile and the used video encode quality level.

  Not specifying VK_VIDEO_SESSION_CREATE_ALLOW_ENCODE_PARAMETER_OPTIMIZATIONS_BIT_KHR does not guarantee that the implementation will not do any codec-specific parameter overrides, as certain overrides are necessary for the correct operation of the video encoder implementation due to limitations to the available encoding tools on that implementation. This flag, however, enables the implementation to apply further optimizing overrides.

• VK_VIDEO_SESSION_CREATE_INLINE_QUERIES_BIT_KHR specifies that queries within video coding scopes using the created video session are executed inline with video coding operations.
