A method for coding video data includes receiving video information associated with a first layer and a second layer and determining whether at least one of the first layer and the second layer is a default layer. The method may include at least partially restricting inter-layer prediction when neither the first layer nor the second layer is the default layer. The default layer may be a base layer or an enhancement layer. A flag indicating that inter-layer prediction is limited can be received. In addition, the method may further comprise determining whether inter-layer prediction is allowed for video information associated with the first layer, and determining if inter-layer prediction is associated with the second layer, such that motion compensation is not used with the second layer video information And determining whether the video information is partially allowed.
