    Abstract: A motion-vector wrap-around coding tool may be reliably used, for instance, in the context of segmental video bitstream formation under switching between different video bitstream representations. A video encoder encodes a video and an indication into a data stream, which is valid for a sequence of pictures, and indicates that certain or all Random Access Skipped Leading (RASL) pictures within the sequence of pictures are coded in a manner excluding a predetermined set of one or more coding tools which includes a wrap-around motion compensation tool. A video decoder decodes from a data stream an indication that indicates that certain or all RASL pictures within a sequence of pictures are coded in a manner excluding a predetermined set of one or more coding tools including a wrap-around motion compensation tool.
