A method and an apparatus for encoding a video are disclosed. For at least one block from a picture of said video, at least one first rate-distortion cost for coding said block according to a first splitting mode of said block is determined (402, 408). It is then determined (404) if coding said block according to said first splitting mode of said block satisfies a criterion. If so, a second rate-distortion cost for coding said block according to at least one asymmetric splitting mode is determined (408), wherein said asymmetric splitting mode corresponds to splitting said block horizontally, or vertically, into two asymmetric subblocks. A best splitting mode for said block is determined (411) according to at least said first rate-distortion cost and said second rate-distortion cost, and the block is encoded (412) according to said best splitting mode.
A method for encoding a block of a picture according to a splitting mode determined among a no splitting mode, symmetric splitting modes corresponding to splitting said block horizontally, or vertically into two symmetric subblocks and asymmetric splitting modes corresponding to splitting said block horizontally, or vertically, into two asymmetric subblocks, said method comprising:
