1. A method for encoding a macroblock capable of being partitioned into a plurality of different block sizes, comprising the steps of:

  • (a) selecting a sub-set of block sizes;

    (b) estimating motion of an image represented by data associated with each block size in the sub-set to establish a best motion vector for said each block size;

    (c) establishing a distortion measure for each block size in the sub-set;

    (d) determining from the distortion measure whether motion estimation should be undertaken on block sizes not within the sub-set, but if not, then (e) choosing an encoding mode for encoding the macroblock in accordance the estimated motion.
