Abstract: A video decoder is provided for the decoding of a video bitstream encoded in a temporal interpolated prediction (TIP) mode. First and second motion vectors pointing to respective reference frames, or reference pictures within those frames, are generated for a block of a current picture. The motion vectors are then refined by application of a decoder-side motion vector refinement (DMVR) process, based on a bilateral matching process, and the refined motion vectors are used to decode the block. The refinement may more specifically involve consideration of candidates for the refined motion vectors, selected by the bilateral matching. The refinement may be applied at both block and sub-block divisions of the current picture.

Abstract: In a method for video decoding in a video decoder, a maximum transform size associated with a video sequence is determined. The maximum transform size is indicated by a syntax element associated with the video sequence. Whether a coding unit (CU) size of a CU of the video sequence is larger than the maximum transform size is determined. When the CU size is less than the maximum transform size, a sub-block transform (SBT) mode is enabled. When the CU size is larger than the maximum transform size, the CU is split into a plurality of first transform units (TUs) and when intra sub partition (ISP) mode is enabled, one of the plurality of first TUs is split into a plurality of second TUs. The CU is reconstructed based on whether the CU size is larger than the maximum transform size.
