A method of partitioning in video coding for JVET, comprising representing a JVET coding tree unit as a root node in a quadtree plus binary tree (QTBT) structure that can have quadtree or binary partitioning of the root node and quadtree or binary trees branching from each of the leaf nodes. The partitioning at any depth can use asymmetric binary partitioning to split a child node represented by a leaf node into two child coding units of unequal size, representing the two child coding units as leaf nodes in a binary tree branching from the parent leaf node and coding the child coding units represented by final leaf nodes of the binary tree with JVET. Disclosed is a generalized method of partitioning a block, either square or rectangular, which leads to more flexible block sizes with possible higher coding efficiency.
