Codecs that use larger blocks may have larger boundary regions that may benefit from filtering. In some embodiments, the deblocking filter determines filters and/or a number of samples of the block to be filtered based on block dimensions. For example, In one embodiment, deblocking filter parameters for the video block are determined based on at least one dimension of the size of the video block. The filter parameters include a filter to be applied or a number of pixels along a boundary with a neighboring block to which the filter is to be applied determined based on the at least one dimension.
