Abstract:
1. A method of encoding video data, the method comprising: encoding header information of a plurality of video blocks of a coded unit of video data in a first sequence of bits of an encoded bitstream, wherein encoding the header information includes arranging header syntax elements for each of the video blocks into groups of different types of header syntax elements, and interleaving encoded runs of portions of the groups of different types of header syntax elements within the first sequence of bits; and encoding residual information of the plurality of video blocks in a second sequence of bits of the encoded bitstream, wherein interleaving encoded runs of portions of the groups of header syntax elements within the first sequence of bits comprises encoding a first run for each of the groups of header syntax elements before encoding a second run of any of the groups of header syntax elements and encoding a second run for one of the groups of header syntax elements that has a shortest first run prior to encoding a second run for any other of the groups of header syntax elements.
