1. A non-transitory computer-readable digital storage medium storing a bitstream generated by a video encoding method, the method comprising:
determining a merge mode that is applied for a current block;
generating inter prediction mode information for the current block;
deriving merge candidates for the merge mode from neighboring blocks of the current block;
selecting one of the merge candidates to derive motion information of the current block;
deriving the motion information of the current block based on the selected merge candidate;
performing prediction on the current block based on the derived motion information;
generating index information for the selected merge candidate; and
encoding video information including the inter prediction mode information and the index information to generate the bitstream,
wherein the neighboring blocks for the merge candidates include a first neighboring block located in a left side of the current block, a second neighboring block located in an upper side of the current block, and corner neighboring blocks of the current block, and
wherein the neighboring blocks for the merge candidates include a temporal neighboring block which is located in a reference picture.
