Claim 24:
25. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
parse a coded data stream to identify a first count of hypotheses from a syntax layer selected from a group of sequence-level, picture-level, slice-level, segment-level, and group-of-CTUs-level syntax layers, a second count greater than two of prediction lists of reference frames from a slice-level syntax layer, selected prediction lists and selected reference frames in the prediction lists for each hypothesis, and associated prediction data applied to a first pixel block, of an input frame;
generate the first count of prediction blocks as hypotheses for the first pixel block from the prediction data, each prediction block is generated from pixel data of a corresponding selected reference frame in a corresponding selected prediction list associated with a coding hypothesis coded, wherein the first count and the second count are not the same;
aggregate the prediction blocks into an aggregate prediction block for the first pixel block; and
decode the first pixel block with reference to the aggregate prediction block.
