Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure concerns a method and a device for encoding or decoding video data. It concerns more particularly the encoding according to a particular encoding mode using a decoder side motion vector derivation mode referenced as frame-rate up conversion mode or FRUC mode. It concerns encoding and decoding improvement which reduce the need for memory accesses when using an encoding mode where the motion information is predicted using a decoder side motion vector derivation method.
