Claim 11:
12. A system comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
select an intermediate size for encoding a video signal;
perform an intra-prediction estimation search for each block in a set of neighboring blocks of the selected intermediate size to determine a best mode for each block in the set of neighboring blocks;
determine whether the neighboring blocks of intermediate size are combinable based on the best mode for each block in the set of neighboring blocks;
perform an intra-prediction estimation search for a first block of a first size that is larger than the intermediate size if the neighboring blocks are combinable; and
perform an intra-prediction estimation search for a second block of a second size that is smaller than the intermediate size if the neighboring blocks are not combinable.
