This paper presents a hardware-oriented analysis of the mode decision algorithms for intra and inter prediction in the H.265/HEVC encoder. A number of simplifications, aimed to achieve real-time encoding of high-resolution video sequences in the hardware implementation, is proposed. The potential acceleration of the encoding is associated with losses in the encoding efficiency. Therefore, the trade-off between encoding speed and quality is inspected closely.
