The techniques described herein relate to methods, apparatus, and computer readable media configured to encode and/or decode video data. A prediction mode is determined for intra prediction coding a current data unit, where the determined prediction mode is a most probable mode of a plurality of most probable modes determined for the current data unit. The MPM information of the determined prediction mode is encoded using a coding bin, including context encoding the bin based on whether the bin is a first coding bin for the MPM information.
