New:
This provisional Vulkan Video release also includes three extensions that extend base structures defined by the core video KHR extensions to support H.264-decode, H.264-encode, and H.265-decode:
These EXT extensions do not define API calls, they simply extend data structures. There is an H.265-encode extension currently in development, and VP9 decode and AV1 decode/encode extensions are expected to follow soon after in a later release.
