Explanation of I/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.
•
This is the standard picture type, and each picture is coded 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.
•
This picture type is computed on the basis of a past I-Picture or P-Picture.
•
This picture type is computed by comparing the previous and subsequent I-Picture or
P-Picture. It has the lowest volume of information.
