Claim 13:
14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
determine whether a first block vector of a first spatial neighboring block of a plurality of spatial neighboring blocks of the current block is available;
insert the first block vector into the block vector predictor candidate list in response to a determination that the first block vector of the first spatial neighboring block of the plurality of spatial neighboring blocks of the current block is available;
determine whether a second block vector of a second spatial neighboring block of the plurality of spatial neighboring blocks of the current block is available and whether the second block vector of the second spatial neighboring block is the same as the first block vector of the first spatial neighboring block; and
insert the second block vector into the block vector predictor candidate list in response to a determination that the second block vector of the second spatial neighboring block of the plurality of spatial neighboring blocks of the current block is available and that the second block vector of the second spatial neighboring block is not the same as the first block vector of the first spatial neighboring block.
