Abstract
A decoding method is a decoding method of decoding a current block of a video from a bitstream. The decoding method includes: decoding, from the bitstream, a prediction mode indicator indicating whether bi/uni mixed prediction is to be performed for the current block; decoding, from the bitstream, two instances of motion information for the current block; and when the prediction mode indicator indicates that the bi/uni mixed prediction is to be performed for the current block, (i) for a first partition, performing first prediction using one of the two instances, the first partition being part of the current block, the first prediction being uni-prediction, and (ii) for a second partition, performing second prediction using both of the two instances, the second partition being part of the current block, the second prediction being bi-prediction.
