A frame is a still image. Video is made up of many frames per second to create the illusion of movement.

Types

Digital video compression techniques involve compression of frames:

I-frame
A full 'Intra-coded picture'
P-frame
'Predicted' from previous frame(s)'s picture
B-frame
'Bi-predictive' or 'Bidirectional' calculated from surrounding frames's pictures. Can painlessly be skipped.
