Claim 13:
14. A method comprising:
computing an inter-prediction coding cost for a coding unit (CU);
computing an intra-prediction coding cost for the CU;
determining whether a minimum of the inter-prediction coding cost and the intra-prediction coding cost is less than a cost threshold;
if the minimum is greater than or equal to the cost threshold, then determining an intra-prediction block copy (IntraBC) coding cost of the coding unit using a two dimensional (2D) search;
selecting an encoding mode from an IntraBC mode, an intra-prediction mode, and an inter-prediction mode based on a coding cost of each of these encoding modes; and
encoding the coding unit using the selected encoding mode.
