Claim Text:
1. A method of encoding video data, the method comprising: determining a first prediction type for a block of video data in a P slice; representing the first prediction type as a P slice prediction type syntax element; determining a second prediction type for a block of video data in a B slice; representing the second prediction type as a B slice prediction type syntax element; determining a third prediction type for a block of video data in an I slice; representing the third prediction type as an I slice prediction type syntax element; determining a P slice binarization for the P slice prediction type syntax element using a first binarization mapping; determining a B slice binarization for the B slice prediction type syntax element using the first binarization mapping; determining an I slice binarization for the I slice prediction type syntax element using a second binarization mapping, the second binarization mapping being different than the first binarization mapping; and encoding the video data based on the binarizations of the P slice prediction type syntax element, the B slice prediction type syntax element, and the I slice prediction type syntax element, wherein each of the first prediction type, second prediction type, and third prediction type specifies a respective prediction mode and a respective partition type.
