In interframe video coding, a delta frame is a "difference" frame that provides an incremental change from the previous frame. Delta frames can be P-frames or B-frames. P-frames (predictive frames ...

Contrast with interframe coding. Intra vs. Inter Intraframe coding takes up more space than interframe, but subsequent editing is much easier and delivers better results.

Interframe algorithms typically show improved video compression rates, but at the expense of propagating compression losses to subsequent frame predictions which often creates temporal artifacts.
