A hybrid video decoder, comprising: an extractor configured to extract motion vector and residual information for a first block of a current picture from a data stream; a predictor configured to provide, depending on the motion vector for the first block of the current picture, a prediction for the first block of the current picture based on a reference picture, the predictor comprising a motion compensation block and an upsampler, wherein the upsampler is configured to perform an upsampling of the reference picture using a combination of an IIR filter and an FIR filter to determine an upsampled reference picture by filtering the reference picture with the IIR filter to obtain, without spatial resolution change, an IIR filtered version of the reference picture, and selectively applying the FIR filter to the IIR filtered version of the reference picture depending on the motion vector for the first block of the current picture to interpolate the IIR filtered version of the reference picture at a subset of upsampled sample positions, the subset being determined by the motion vector for the first block of the current picture, and the motion compensation block is configured to apply the motion vector to the upsampled reference picture to determine the prediction for the first block of the current picture; and a reconstructor configured to reconstruct the current picture at the first block using the prediction and the residual information for the first block of the current picture, wherein the predictor is configured to, in providing a prediction for another block of the current picture, depending on a further motion vector for the other block of the current picture, to selectively apply the FIR filter to the IIR filtered version of the reference picture anew, depending on the further motion vector, to interpolate the IIR filtered version of the reference picture at a further subset of upsampled sample positions, determined by the further motion vector, the further subset at least partially overlapping with the subset of upsampled sample positions determined by the motion vector for the first block of the current picture. an extractor configured to extract motion vector and residual information for a first block of a current picture from a data stream; a predictor configured to provide, depending on the motion vector for the first block of the current picture, a prediction for the first block of the current picture based on a reference picture, the predictor comprising a motion compensation block and an upsampler, wherein the upsampler is configured to perform an upsampling of the reference picture using a combination of an IIR filter and an FIR filter to determine an upsampled reference picture by filtering the reference picture with the IIR filter to obtain, without spatial resolution change, an IIR filtered version of the reference picture, and selectively applying the FIR filter to the IIR filtered version of the reference picture depending on the motion vector for the first block of the current picture to interpolate the IIR filtered version of the reference picture at a subset of upsampled sample positions, the subset being determined by the motion vector for the first block of the current picture, and the motion compensation block is configured to apply the motion vector to the upsampled reference picture to determine the prediction for the first block of the current picture; and a reconstructor configured to reconstruct the current picture at the first block using the prediction and the residual information for the first block of the current picture, wherein the predictor is configured to, in providing a prediction for another block of the current picture, depending on a further motion vector for the other block of the current picture, to selectively apply the FIR filter to the IIR filtered version of the reference picture anew, depending on the further motion vector, to interpolate the IIR filtered version of the reference picture at a further subset of upsampled sample positions, determined by the further motion vector, the further subset at least partially overlapping with the subset of upsampled sample positions determined by the motion vector for the first block of the current picture.
