I have searched ffmpeg-user archives as well as Wikipedia, I am still not quite
clear on this. I have come across several terms for different frame types
I-frame
P-frame
B-frame
intra frame
inter frame
reference frame
key frame
It appears that
I-frame
intra frame
key frame
reference frame
are synonymous while "inter frame" is synonymous with "non I-frame" or
"P-frame and B-frame". Is this correct? Also any canonical sources of this
information would be welcome as well.
