A method for encoding and decoding, and coding and decoding apparatus for video coding

The invention relates to a method for video coding of image sequences are coded in such a scaled in which images of the image sequence, that the video data resulting contain information that defined a representation of images in a plurality of differing stages of a by the number of pixels per image representation Resolution guarantee of images, wherein the coding is performed in such block-based, that at least one movement descriptive block structure is created for a description of any movement of parts of the images contained in the image sequence, which is configured such that, starting from a block in sub-blocks is subdivided in part with the sub-blocks successively finer dividing sub-blocks is temporarily generates a second block structure for at least a first resolution level a first block structure and for a second resolution level, the first level of resolution a lower Bildpunktan number than the second resolution level. Further, the second block structure with the first block structure is compared in such a way that differences in the block structure are determined, so that a modified second block structure is created in such a way on the basis of characteristics of the structural differences that their structure is a subset of the second block structure, so that subsequently the modified second block structure of the coding of the image sequence is used.
