Claim Text:
1. A method of coding multi-layer video data, the method comprising: determining, for a coding unit of video data at a first temporal location, whether one or more reference picture lists for coding the coding unit contain at least one reference picture at a second, different temporal location; based on determining that the one or more reference picture lists for coding the coding unit do not contain at least one reference picture at the second, different temporal location, disabling an inter-view residual prediction process when the one or more reference picture lists do not include at least one reference picture at the second temporal location, wherein disabling the inter-view residual prediction process comprises skipping coding of a weighting factor for the inter-view residual prediction process for the coding unit and each other coding unit of a picture containing the coding unit; and coding the coding unit of video data relative to at least one reference block of video data of a reference picture in the one or more reference picture lists.
