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.
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 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-Picture or P-Picture. 
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.
