ÁI/P/B:

The MPEG 2 standard adopted for DVD uses the following 3 picture types for the coding of each picture (frame) on the TV screen.

I: I-Picture (Intra coded picture)

This is the standard picture type, and each picture is coded separately. Since it features the best picture quality, it is rec- ommended that the screen be frozen with I-Picture when the picture quality is to be adjusted.

P: P-Picture (Predictive coded picture)

This picture type is computed on the basis of a past I-Picture or P-Picture.

B:B-Picture (Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture) This picture type is computed by comparing the previous and subsequent I-Picture or P-Picture. It has the lowest volume of information.
