Claim 1:
2. An encoding method comprising:
performing a first partitioning including using a first partition mode, without writing first splitting information indicative of the first partition mode into a bitstream, to split a first block into a plurality of second blocks in response to that the first block is located adjacent to an edge of a picture and that the dimensions of the first block satisfy a first condition;
performing a second partitioning on the second block by writing second splitting information indicative of a second partition mode into the bitstream, wherein the second partition mode allows at least one of a quad tree splitting and a binary splitting, and using the second partition mode to split the second block into a plurality of coding units (CUs), wherein the second partition mode prohibits the quad tree splitting of the second block in response to that the second block is located adjacent to the edge of the picture and that the dimensions of the second block satisfy a second condition, and
encoding the plurality of CUs.
