Claim Text:
1. A method of decoding video data, the method comprising: determining a first type for a current motion vector of a current block of video data; determining a second type for a candidate motion vector predictor of a neighboring block to the current block; setting a variable representative of whether the candidate motion vector predictor is available for use as a motion vector predictor for the current motion vector to a first value indicating that the candidate motion vector predictor is not available for use as the motion vector predictor for the current motion vector, wherein the variable can be set to either the first value or a second value, different from the first value, indicating that the candidate motion vector predictor is available for use as the motion vector predictor for the current motion vector; determining whether the first type is different from the second type; and after initially setting the variable to the first value, setting the variable to the second value in response to determining that the first type is identical to the second type; and decoding the current motion vector based at least in part on the second value of the variable.
