Add support for packed 4:4:4 pixel format AYUV.

It is the format that VAAPI/QSV uses when coping with 4:4:4
surfaces. Alpha channel will be set to default value for HEVC REXT
hw decode.

What is the „default value“?

Default zero. (and it should be 255 for display)

If this is not a bug in the driver, there is no alpha channel that can be used.
Rename it to 0YUV and remove the alpha usage.

From the pixel format level, adding AYUV format is for a more fundamental/common usage.
It is valid no matter the alpha data is 0 or 255 or specific value to indicate the transparency.

And the hardware decode result is an AYUV format with fixed alpha values, so it should still be
an AYUV format IMHO.

Yes, but the new pixel format will only be accepted if it is needed for hardware compatibility.
If the hardware only supports 0YUV, it cannot be used to argue in favour of a new AYUV format.

AYUV is a standard format used on Windows and documented by Microsoft
as the recommended 4:4:4 8-bit format for all purposes. Its hardly a
niche format. Its perfectly appropriate to support it.

This is not the format suggested in this posted patch.

Got the concern.

If we need a reason to support this standard pixel format apart
from the hardware compatibility, it could be some requirements like CSC from
ARGB to YUV and don't want to lose the alpha channel information:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6023565/argb-to-yuv-color-spaces-in-net

"How to convert image beetween ARGB and YUV in c#?
I found formulas describing RGB to YUV conversion. So what should I do with alpha channel? "

Thus AYUV will make more sense.

If your hardware decoding does not produce valid alpha data (0xFF
for opaque, 0x00 for completely transparent), you cannot use an
FFmpeg pix_fmt that defines alpha for decoding.
If you define a pix_fmt that does not contain alpha information (as
needed for your hardware decoder), please do not use "A" in its
name.

The hardware decode output is in packed 4:4:4:4 8 bit(32 bits in total). Apart
from Y/U/V channel, there is an additional need for a channel to store the
zero byte in surfaces(nb_components = 4). And it is designed in hardware/driver
for VA_FourCC_AYUV and AYUV format.

It's not quite proper to use something like "0YUV" directly which indicates that
there is no Alpha channel data like"RGB0" or "0RGB"(nb_components = 3).

"0YUV": YUV0/YUV0/...
"RGB0":RGB/RGB/...

It's true that we could only map Y/U/V data from surface to frame in ffmpeg and
use a 3-components pixel format like "0YUV", but IMHO it's kind of improper because
the output from hardware/driver is forced changed in Application level even if user
didn't call for a CSC:
	- hardware/driver output (in AYUV):  YUV0/YUV0/...
	- ffmpeg output (in 0YUV):                     YUV/YUV/...

Please feel free to offer your opinions on this question(AYUV or 0YUV) and let me
know how to push it step-further.

Thanks,

I think you've misread what RGB0 is.  The component step is 4, not 3 (see libavutil/pixdesc.c) - the format with a step of 3 is RGB24.

RGBA:  R G B A R G B A ...
RGB0:  R G B 0 R G B 0 ...
RGB24: R G B R G B R G ...

Following the same pattern we would have:

AYUV:  A Y U V A Y U V ...
0YUV:  0 Y U V 0 Y U V ...

To me it looks like 0YUV is exactly what you want here.

Thanks for pointing out this.
Just took the nb_components into account and misread the step info at first.

Will update the patch if 0YUV is more acceptable.
And thanks Carl.

Could you double-check if there is no bug in the decoder?
I ask because transparency is possible with hevc and the
relevant Windows format does support transparency from
how I read the specification.

Double confirmed.
The alpha channel is configurable on HCP_SURFACE_STATE command,
currently driver(iHD) set zero as default value.

"0YUV" is good enough, "AYUV" could be hold on.

Hi,

Rethink about this, hardware decoder should support a valid alpha data.
Default 0x00 or 0xFF  for alpha channel doesn't make sense in HEVC Rext
decoding.

Filed an issue in media driver:
https://github.com/intel/media-driver/issues/719

Will rebase and resend the patch set for QSV HEVC REXT decoding, basing on
AYUV,Y410, Y210.

Thanks,
Linjie
