In a video encoding and decoding process, a video decoding method and a video decoding apparatus are provided to for determining whether a motion vector of an adjacent block at a location corresponding to one motion vector resolution among a plurality of motion vector resolutions is available, when the motion vector of the adjacent block is available, obtaining the motion vector of the adjacent block as a motion vector predictor of a current block, when the motion vector of the adjacent block is unavailable, obtaining a default motion vector by using a motion vector of one of two other adjacent blocks of the current block as a motion vector predictor of the current block, and performing prediction on the current block based on the motion vector predictor of the current block.
