# SPA param video format helpers

struct. The flags \ref SPA_VIDEO_FLAG_MODIFIER and \ref SPA_VIDEO_FLAG_MODIFIER_FIXATION_REQUIRED
|
||||
are used to indicate modifier usage with the format. `SPA_VIDEO_FLAG_MODIFIER` declares the
|
||||
parsed/provided spa_video_info_* struct contains valid modifier information. For legacy
|
||||
reasons `spa_format_video_*_build` will announce any modifier != 0 even when this flag is
|
||||
unused. `SPA_VIDEO_FLAG_MODIFIER_FIXATION_REQUIRED` is exclusive to the parse helpers and
|
||||
declares that the parsed spa_pod contains modifier information which needs to be fixated as
|
||||
described aboath. The list of available modifiers has to be parsed manually from the spa_pod
