24 /// Video decoder interface.
25 ///
26 /// Typical usage:
27 /// - Call Create() to create a new video decoder resource.
28 /// - Call Initialize() to initialize it with a 3d graphics context and the
29 ///   desired codec profile.
30 /// - Call Decode() continuously (waiting for each previous call to complete) to
31 ///   push bitstream buffers to the decoder.
32 /// - Call GetPicture() continuously (waiting for each previous call to
33 ///   complete) to pull decoded pictures from the decoder.
34 /// - Call Flush() to signal end of stream to the decoder and perform shutdown
35 ///   when it completes.
36 /// - Call Reset() to quickly stop the decoder (e.g. to implement Seek) and wait
37 ///   for the callback before restarting decoding at another point.
38 /// - To destroy the decoder, the plugin should release all of its references to
39 ///   it. Any pending callbacks will abort before the decoder is destroyed.
40 ///
41 /// Available video codecs vary by platform.
42 /// All: theora, vorbis, vp8.
43 /// Chrome and ChromeOS: aac, h264.
44 /// ChromeOS: mpeg4.
