Techniques are described for encoding and decoding digital video data using macroblocks that are larger than the macroblocks prescribed by conventional video encoding and decoding standards. For example, the techniques include encoding and decoding a video stream using macroblocks comprising greater than 16×16 pixels, for example, 64×64 pixels. Each macroblock may be partitioned into two or more partitions, and two or more of the partitions may be encoded using different modes. In one example, an apparatus includes a video encoder configured to receive a video block having a size of more than 16×16 pixels, partition the block into partitions, encode one of the partitions using a first encoding mode, encode another of the partitions using a second encoding mode different from the first encoding mode, and generate block-type syntax information that indicates the size of the block and identifies the partitions and the encoding modes used to encode the partitions. |
