Provided are a method and apparatus for determining a block mode using bit-generation probability estimation in motion picture coding. In H.264 video coding for Internet protocol (IP)-television (TV), the method and apparatus first determine whether or not a current block mode is a skip mode or a direct-prediction mode using bit-generation probability estimation, thereby reducing the amount of computation. By minimizing the amount of computation for determining a block mode, it is possible to increase an encoding rate and also minimize deterioration in image quality. |
