1. A method for encoding a video, the method comprising:
signaling, by a partitioning enablement flag in a bit stream, a subset of a plurality of partitioning modes for inter-prediction of a portion of a video sequence, wherein the partitioning enablement flag indicates whether the subset of the plurality of partitioning modes used for inter-prediction includes only square partitioning modes;
predicting the portion of the video sequence using only the subset of the partitioning modes;
selecting a binarization definition associated with the subset of the plurality of partitioning modes;
binarizing at least one partitioning mode syntax element corresponding to the portion of the video sequence based on the selected binarization definition, wherein the binarizing includes determining a sequence of binary symbols for the at least one partitioning mode syntax element; and
entropy encoding the binarized partitioning mode syntax element.
