Disclosed are a method for setting a motion vector list and an apparatus using the same. The method for setting the motion vector list and the apparatus using the same may include the steps of: determining the presence of a first motion vector or a second motion vector by a sequential determination process in a first spatial candidate prediction group; and setting the first motion vector or the second motion vector produced through the sequential determination process as the candidate prediction motion vector. Thus, the encoding/decoding time and the complexity can be reduced by restricting the scaling number in a process for scanning the candidate prediction motion vector.
