METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING/DECODING USING EXTENDED MACRO-BLOCK SKIP MODE

摘要

A method is provided for encoding a multi-layer video signal by using an extended macro-block skip mode. The method includes generating a bit stream of a base layer; generating a bit stream of an enhanced layer by referring to a frame of the base layer; setting a syntax item for an extended macro-block skip mode in an area of the bit stream of the enhanced layer, wherein the syntax item indicates if information of the base layer is used as it is while a frame of the enhanced layer is skipped.
