FIELD: encoding.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of video or image encoding. Proposed are a method and apparatus for video encoding and decoding. The method for encoding includes the conclusion that the encoded video sequence begins at a specific position in the bitstream, wherein the encoded video sequence is a sequence of encoded images in the decoding order, being independently decoded and followed by another encoded video sequence or the end of the bitstream, wherein the bitstream contains access blocks, and an access block contains encoded video data for a single time and other associated data, and an access block contains one or more network abstraction layer (NAL) blocks; and an indication, in the access block divider, whether the NAL block or blocks associated with the access block divider should be processed as the beginning of the encoded video sequence.
EFFECT: increased efficiency of video encoding.
