| 18 | When: October 2007 | ||
| 19 | Why: Broken attempt to set MPEG compression parameters. These ioctls are | ||
| 20 | not able to implement the wide variety of parameters that can be set | ||
| 21 | by hardware MPEG encoders. A new MPEG control mechanism was created | ||
| 22 | in kernel 2.6.18 that replaces these ioctls. See the V4L2 specification | ||
