==Terminology==

* Encoding -

* Decoding -

* Muxing - writing encoded data (e.g. H264) into a container (e.g. MP4 or MKV)

* Keyframe - a reference frame typically used as the beginning or end of an animation sequence

* I-frame (intra-coded frame) - a complete frame which can be independently decoded.

* P-frame (predicted frame) - an intermediate frame which requires the previous frame to decode.

* B-frame (bidirectional frame) - an intermediate frame which requires the previous and next (non-B) frames to decode.
