They are very similar. DXVA2 uses D3D9 video functionality, while
D3D11VA obviously uses D3D11. There is no difference in the formats
that they can decode.

D3D11 works the same as DXVA2 copy-back. There is one exception, and
this is where D3D11 has a benefit, is when you use it together with
MadVR. In that case it can automatically switch to native mode for
improved performance.

2. efficiency
