Device and method for video decoding video blocks

A device for decoding video data, the device comprising:

• a memory and a processor, which is in communication with the memory,
• configured to:
• receive a block-type syntax information which indicates a size of a video block in a video frame, wherein a maximum size of the video blocks is 32×32 or 64×64;
• receive the video block having the size indicated by the block-type syntax information, wherein the video block is partitioned into partitions, and at least one of the partitions is encoded with a first encoding mode and at least one other of the partitions is encoded with a second encoding mode which is different from the first encoding mode;
• receive syntax information for the partitions of the video block, and, for the first encoding mode and the second encoding mode;
• receive motion vector information for one or more of the partitions;
• and
• decode the video block based on at least the block-type syntax information and the motion vector information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to:

• receive a block-type syntax information which indicates a size of a video block in a video frame, wherein a maximum size of the video blocks is 32×32 or 64×64;
• receive the video block having the size indicated by the block-type syntax information, wherein the video block is partitioned into partitions, and at least one of the partitions is encoded with a first encoding mode and at least one other of the partitions is encoded with a second encoding mode which is different from the first encoding mode;
• receive syntax information for the partitions of the video block, and, for the first encoding mode and the second encoding mode;
• receive motion vector information for one or more of the partitions;
• and
• decode the video block based on at least the block-type syntax information and the motion vector information.
