1. A method of video encoding comprising:

  • downscaling a block of a frame of a video to generate a downscaled block;

    processing the downscaled block to generate compression efficacy data indicative of an efficacy of encoding the block using inter-frame prediction;

    based on the compression efficacy data, determining that the block is to be encoded using inter-frame prediction;

    encoding the block using inter-frame prediction; and

    downscaling a reference block of a reference frame of the video to generate a downscaled reference block, wherein;

    the processing the downscaled block comprises processing the downscaled block with the downscaled reference block to calculate motion data representative of an estimated motion between the downscaled block and the downscaled reference block; and

    the compression efficacy data is representative of a motion comparison between the estimated motion and a predicted motion.
