5.2Clarification and Bug Fix Issues

JCTVC-J0336 Clarification of the semantics of no_residual_data_flag [Z. Yang, P. Chen, W. Wan (Broadcom)]

This contribution recommends clarifying the semantics of no_residual_data_flag to avoid potential ambiguities in interpretation of this element and also prohibit an error condition in the current HM handling of this flag.

The presentation shown was not identical with the uploaded version by the time the presentation was given. A new version was requested to be uploaded.

The semantics modification suggested in the new presentation is already identical with the latest draft (I1003_d9).

no_residual_data_flag should be renamed to no_residual_syntax_flag (editorial only). Decision (Ed.): Editor action item.

Check in the software whether something is skipped based on checking the NRD flag together with the merge flag. The current decoder does not store the previous skip flag, but rather re-derives it based on CBF. A likely solution to the problem would be to store previous skip flags in the software. Decision (SW): Software action item.
