FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to video encoding. Decoding method includes receiving a video bitstream including a unit of image (PU), wherein the PU includes a network abstraction layer (NAL) unit of a picture header (PH) having a picture header NAL unit type (PH_NUT), and an associated video coding level (VCL) NAL unit, PH_NUT means that the identifier (ID) of the level of the PH NAL unit is equal to the level ID of the associated NAL unit of the video coding level (VCL), and the temporary ID of the PH NAL unit is equal to the temporary ID of the PU; and decoding the encoded image from the PU to obtain a decoded image.
EFFECT: reducing video bitstream encoding and decoding errors.
