Claim 6:
7. A non-statutory computer-readable medium for storing compressed video data, the compressed video data comprising:
first index information to specify a first merge candidate from a merge candidate list; and
second index information to specify a second merge candidate from the merge candidate list,
wherein a plurality of merge candidates for a current block is derived from neighboring blocks adjacent to the current block, the neighboring blocks including at least one of a spatial neighboring block or a temporal neighboring block,
wherein the merge candidate list of the current block is constructed by adding the plurality of merge candidates thereto,
wherein during the construction of the merge candidate list, a new merge candidate generated based on two of the plurality of merge candidates is further added to the merge candidate list,
wherein after completing the construction of the merge candidate list, the first and the second merge candidates are selected from the merge candidate list based on the first index information and the second index information, respectively,
wherein prediction samples of the current block are obtained based on first motion information derived from the first merge candidate and second motion information derived from the second merge candidate,
wherein, in response to an index of the second merge candidate being less than an index of the first merge candidate, the second index information has a value identical to the index of the second merge candidate, and
wherein, in response to the index of the second merge candidate being greater than the index of the first merge candidate, the second index information has a value resulting from subtracting 1 from the index of the second merge candidate.
