- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_H264_STD_ENTROPY_CODING_MODE_FLAG_UNSET_BIT_KHR specifies whether the implementation supports CAVLC entropy coding, as defined in section 9.2 of the ITU-T H.264 Specification, and thus supports using the application-provided value for `StdVideoH264PpsFlags`::`entropy_coding_mode_flag` in the PPS when that value is `0`.

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_H264_STD_ENTROPY_CODING_MODE_FLAG_SET_BIT_KHR specifies whether the implementation supports CABAC entropy coding, as defined in section 9.3 of the ITU-T H.264 Specification, and thus supports using the application-provided value for `StdVideoH264PpsFlags`::`entropy_coding_mode_flag` in the PPS when that value is `1`.

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_H264_STD_DIRECT_8X8_INFERENCE_FLAG_UNSET_BIT_KHR specifies whether the implementation supports using the application-provided value for `StdVideoH264SpsFlags`::`direct_8x8_inference_flag` in the SPS when that value is `0`.

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_H264_STD_DEBLOCKING_FILTER_PARTIAL_BIT_KHR specifies whether the implementation supports using the application-provided value for `StdVideoEncodeH264SliceHeader`::`disable_deblocking_filter_idc` in the H.264 slice header parameters when that value is `STD_VIDEO_H264_DISABLE_DEBLOCKING_FILTER_IDC_PARTIAL`.

- VK_VIDEO_ENCODE_H264_STD_SLICE_QP_DELTA_BIT_KHR specifies whether the implementation supports using the application-provided value for `StdVideoEncodeH264SliceHeader`::`slice_qp_delta` in the H.264 slice header parameters when that value is identical across the slices of the encoded frame.

These capability flags provide information to the application about specific H.264 syntax element values that the implementation supports without having to override them and do not otherwise restrict the values that the application can specify for any of the mentioned H.264 syntax elements.
