Abstract: Encoding or decoding video data from a bitstream, comprising parsing a syntax element and, where the syntax element indicates that a picture to be decoded contains only one slice 706, not permitting the use of a subpicture, or not parsing subpicture information. In embodiments, when the syntax element picture_header_in_slice_header_flag, found in a slice header, is set, this indicates that the picture has a single slice which contains the picture header 708, and then a slice_subpic_id identifying a subpicture corresponding to the slice is omitted (as more than one sub-pictures, which each comprise at least one slice, cannot be present in a picture comprise only one slice. Alternatively, a single slice in the picture can be inferred from num_tiles_in_slice_minus1 representing the number of tiles in the slice is equal to NumTilesInPic – 1 (representing the number of tiles in the picture or frame). Another invention involved not permitting the colour planes to be separated if the picture contains a single slice. A third invention comprises enforcing the colour planes to be separated and inferring a single colour plane identity for slices in the picture.
