Claim:
1. A video encoding apparatus, comprising: a block partitioning unit configured to determine a partition form, among candidate partition forms, for partitioning a current block into one or more partition blocks, wherein the candidate partition forms include one or more asymmetric partition forms in which the current block is partitioned into a plurality of asymmetric partition blocks; a prediction unit configured to generate one or more predicted blocks respectively corresponding to the one or more partition blocks by a subtractor configured to generate a residual block of the current block by subtracting the predicted blocks from one or more partition blocks corresponding thereto; a transformer configured to generate at least one transform block by transforming the residual block; a quantizer configured to generate at least one quantized transform block by quantizing the at least one transform block; and an encoder configured to encode, into the bitstream, information on the scale factor, information on the determined partition form, information on the motion vector and the at least one quantized transform block.
