Provided is an apparatus, medium, and method for processing neighbor information in a video decoder that can minimize the number of memory accesses. The apparatus includes a neighbor information providing unit and a storage unit. If at least one spatially neighboring block of a current block exists in memory, the neighbor information providing unit can access information of all neighbor blocks from the memory and provides the accessed information as neighbor information. The storage unit stores the neighbor information provided by the neighbor information providing unit and outputs the stored neighbor information to the plurality of modules. |
