Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for encoding video data. For example, restrictions on certain prediction modes can be applied for video coding. A restriction can be imposed that prevents inter-prediction bi-prediction from being performed on video data when certain conditions are met. For example, bi-prediction restriction can be based on whether intra-block copy prediction is enabled for one or more coding units or blocks of the video data, whether a value of a syntax element indicates that one or more motion vectors are in non-integer accuracy, whether both motion vectors of a bi-prediction block are in non-integer accuracy, whether the motion vectors of a bi-prediction block are not identical and/or are not from the same reference index, or any combination thereof. If one or more of these conditions are met, the restriction on bi-prediction can be applied, preventing bi-prediction from being performed on certain coding units or blocks.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for coding significant coefficient information for a video block in a transform skip mode. The transform skip mode may provide a choice of a two-dimensional transform mode, a horizontal one-dimensional transform mode, a vertical one-dimensional transform mode, or a no transform mode.

The techniques include selecting a transform skip mode for a video block, and coding significant coefficient information for the video block using a coding procedure defined based at least in part on the selected transform skip mode. Specifically, the techniques include using different coding procedures to code one or more of a position of a last non-zero coefficient and a significance map for the video block in the transform skip mode.
