70What: Video4Linux API 1 ioctls and video_decoder.h from Video devices.
71When: July 2006
72Why: V4L1 AP1 was replaced by V4L2 API. during migration from 2.4 to 2.6
73 series. The old API have lots of drawbacks and don't provide enough
74 means to work with all video and audio standards. The newer API is
75 already available on the main drivers and should be used instead.
76 Newer drivers should use v4l_compat_translate_ioctl function to handle
77 old calls, replacing to newer ones.
78 Decoder iocts are using internally to allow video drivers to
79 communicate with video decoders. This should also be improved to allow
80 V4L2 calls being translated into compatible internal ioctls.
