16. An apparatus for deriving a motion vector predictor (MVP) for a motion vector (MV) of a current block in Inter, Merge, or Skip mode, wherein the MVP is selected from MVP candidates comprising one or more spatial MVP candidates associated with one or more neighboring blocks and one or more temporal MVP candidates associated with one or more co-located blocks, the apparatus comprising at least one circuit configured to: determine whether said one or more temporal MVP candidates are disabled according to a flag in a video bitstream, wherein the flag is utilized for selectively disabling use of said one or more temporal MVP candidates for motion vector prediction; derive the MVP based on said one or more spatial MVP candidates responsive to the flag indicating that said one or more temporal MVP candidates are not to be utilized for motion vector prediction; derive the MVP based on said one or more spatial MVP candidates and said one or more temporal MVP candidates responsive to the flag indicating that said one or more temporal MVP candidates are to be utilized for motion vector prediction; and provide the MVP for the current block.

The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the at least one circuit is further configured to determine a forced temporal MVP when a temporal MVP is not available if the temporal MVP candidates are to be utilized as indicated by the flag, wherein the forced temporal MVP is used in said deriving the MVP if the temporal MVP candidates are to be utilized as indicated by the flag.
