1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a bitstream, the bitstream including information according to which a decoder determines a mode to be applied to a block from a plurality of merge modes, the information indicating a size of the block, wherein
in a case where the mode determined is a first mode, the decoder obtains, from the bitstream, an index indicating a distance and an angle that define two partitions in the block, and
in a case where (i) a width of the block is 64 pixels and a height of the block is 8 pixels or (ii) the height is 64 pixels and the width is 8 pixels, the decoder disables the first mode and obtaining of the index from the bitstream.
