Abstract

There is disclosed apparatuses, methods and computer programs for utilizing motion prediction in video coding. Coding type of a block of pixels of a video representation encoded in a bitstream is read, where values of said pixels having a first precision. If the type of the block is a block predicted by using two or more reference blocks, a first reference pixel location in a first reference block is determined and a second reference pixel location in a second reference block is determined. The first reference pixel location is used to obtain a first prediction having a second precision, which is higher than the first precision. The second reference pixel location is used to obtain a second prediction, also having the second precision. The first prediction and the second prediction are combined to obtain a combined prediction having the first precision.
