Explanation of I/P/B
The MPEG 2 standard adopted for DVD uses the following 3 picture typ es for the
coding of each picture (frame) on the TV screen.
• I-Picture (Intra coded picture)
This is the standard picture type, and each picture is co ded separately. Since it
features the best picture quality, it is recommended that the screen be frozen with
I-Picture when the picture quality is to adjusted.
• P-Picture (Predictive coded picture)
This picture type is computed on the basis of a past I-Pictur e or P-Picture.
• B-Picture (Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture)
This picture type is computed by comparing the previous and subseq uent I-Picture or
P-Picture. It has the lowest volume of information.
