1. A method for video coding, the method comprising:

  • partitioning video input data into largest coding units (LCUs);

    configuring a slice to include a plurality of LCUs, having a first LCU and a last LCU;

    wherein the first LCU and the last LCU are selected from a group consisting of a fractional LCU and a whole LCU and wherein the fractional LCU is formed by partitioning the whole LCU into leaf CUs according to a quadtree;

    applying video coding to the slice to generate compressed video data for the slice;

    generating a slice layer bitstream comprising the compressed video data for the slice; and

    generating a video bitstream comprising the slice layer bitstream.
