The invention provides a video decoding method and device, a video coding method and device, equipment and a storage medium, which relate to the technical field of video coding and decoding. The method comprises the following steps of decoding a code stream to obtain a binary symbol string of string length information of a current string, performing reverse binarization processing on the binary symbol string according to the string length resolution of the current string to obtain string length information, and determining the string length of the current string according to the string length information. The length of the pixel string in the coding and decoding block can be limited to be the multiple of the string length resolution, the uniformity of the pixel string is improved, a coding and decoding end can carry out coding and decoding under the condition of memory alignment, and the coding and decoding efficiency of the pixel string is improved. Besides, in consideration of the influence of the string length resolution on string length information coding and decoding, a binarization and anti-binarization processing method for string length information is provided, the coding and decoding mode of the string length information under different string length resolutions is improved, and the coding and decoding performance can be improved.
