Claim 7:
8. An inter prediction apparatus, comprising:
a determining module configured to, when a left candidate picture block spatially neighboring to a current block is encoded or decoded, and an inter prediction mode is used for the left candidate picture block, determine whether a reference picture of the left candidate picture block is the same as a reference picture of the current block; and
a processing module configured to construct a candidate motion vector list for the current block based on a result of the determining, wherein:
when the reference picture of the left candidate picture block is the same as the reference picture of the current block, the candidate motion vector list comprises an MV of the left candidate picture block; and
when the reference picture of the left candidate picture block is different from the reference picture of the current block, the MV of the left candidate picture block is not used to construct the candidate motion vector list.
