10Below all controls within the Codec control class are described. First
11the generic controls, then controls specific for certain hardware.
12
13.. note::
14
15   These controls are applicable to all codecs and not just MPEG. The
16   defines are prefixed with V4L2_CID_MPEG/V4L2_MPEG as the controls
17   were originally made for MPEG codecs and later extended to cover all
18   encoding formats.

31    The Codec class descriptor. Calling
32    :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` for this control will
33    return a description of this control class. This description can be
34    used as the caption of a Tab page in a GUI, for example.

41enum v4l2_mpeg_stream_type -
42    The MPEG-1, -2 or -4 output stream type. One cannot assume anything
43    here. Each hardware MPEG encoder tends to support different subsets
44    of the available MPEG stream types. This control is specific to
45    multiplexed MPEG streams. The currently defined stream types are:
