Claim 4:
5. An apparatus of Inter prediction for video coding, the apparatus comprising one or more electronic circuits or processors arranged to:
receive input data related to a current block in a current picture at a video encoder side or a video bitstream corresponding to compressed data including the current block in the current picture at a video decoder side;
determine a first boundary and a second boundary associated with the current block, wherein the first boundary and the second boundary correspond to two vertical boundaries or two horizontal boundaries of the current block;
apply de-blocking process to a reconstructed current block corresponding to the current block to result in a filtered-reconstructed current block, wherein if one or more first reference samples used for the de-blocking process of the first boundary are to be modified by the de-blocking process of the second boundary, said one or more first reference samples are replaced by one or more padding samples that are not to be modified by the de-blocking process of the second boundary; and
generate a filtered decoded picture including the filtered-reconstructed current block.
