Abstract
An unencoded video frame of a sequence of video frames is encoded to generate an encoded bit-stream representative of the unencoded video frame. The encoded bit-stream includes a header portion and a video data payload portion. The unencoded video frame may be divided into an array of prediction blocks, including a first prediction block. A coding mode is selected from a plurality of coding modes for use in encoding the first prediction block. The first prediction block is encoded using the selected coding mode to generate a portion of the video data payload of the encoded bit-stream. A coding mode selection flag is provided in the header portion of the encoded bit-stream, which indicates which coding mode of the plurality of coding modes was selected for encoding the first prediction block.
