/// This file defines the API to create and use a VideoDecoder resource.

/// Video decoder interface.
///
/// Typical usage:
/// - Call Create() to create a new video decoder resource.
/// - Call Initialize() to initialize it with a 3d graphics context and the
///   desired codec profile.
/// - Call Decode() continuously (waiting for each previous call to complete) to
///   push bitstream buffers to the decoder.
/// - Call GetPicture() continuously (waiting for each previous call to
///   complete) to pull decoded pictures from the decoder.
/// - Call Flush() to signal end of stream to the decoder and perform shutdown
///   when it completes.
/// - Call Reset() to quickly stop the decoder (e.g. to implement Seek) and wait
///   for the callback before restarting decoding at another point.
/// - To destroy the decoder, the plugin should release all of its references to
///   it. Any pending callbacks will abort before the decoder is destroyed.
///
/// Available video codecs vary by platform.
/// All: theora, vorbis, vp8.
/// Chrome and ChromeOS: aac, h264.
/// ChromeOS: mpeg4.
