Abstract: A video codec receives data for a block of pixels to be encoded or decoded as a current block of a current picture of a video. The video codec signals or parses a first syntax element for a first coding mode in a particular set of two or more coding modes. Each of coding mode of the particular set of coding modes modifies a merge candidate or an inter-prediction that is generated based on the merge candidate. The video codec enables the first coding mode and disables one or more other coding modes in the particular set of coding modes. The disabled one or more coding modes in the particular set of coding modes are disabled without parsing syntax elements for the disabled coding modes. The video codec encodes or decodes the current block by using the enabled first coding mode and bypassing the disabled coding modes.

Abstract: A video decoder that decodes a current block of pixels by using multi-hypothesis combined prediction mode is provided. The video decoder generates a first prediction of the current block based on an inter prediction mode. The video decoder enables the combined prediction mode for the current block based on a block size of the current block determined according to a width and a height of the current block. The combined prediction mode is disabled when the width of or the height of the current block is greater than a threshold length. When the combined prediction mode is enabled, the video decoder generates a second prediction based on an intra prediction mode that is inferred to be a planar mode, and subsequently a combined prediction for the current block based on the first prediction and the second prediction. The video decoder reconstructs the current block by using the combined prediction.
