Predicted Frames/slices (P-frames/slices)
- Require the prior decoding of some other picture(s) in order to be decoded.
- May contain both image data and motion vector displacements and combinations of the two.
- Can reference previous pictures in decoding order.
- Older standard designs (such as MPEG-2) use only one previously decoded picture as a reference during decoding, and require that picture to also precede the P picture in display order.
- In H.264, can use multiple previously decoded pictures as references during decoding, and can have any arbitrary display-order relationship relative to the picture(s) used for its prediction.
- Typically require fewer bits for encoding than I pictures do.

Famous quotes containing the words predicted, frames and/or slices:
“School success is not predicted by a child’s fund of facts or a precocious ability to read as much as by emotional and social measures; being self-assured and interested: knowing what kind of behavior is expected and how to rein in the impulse to misbehave; being able to wait, to follow directions, and to turn to teachers for help; and expressing needs while getting along with other children.”
—Daniel Goleman (20th century)
“... though it is by no means requisite that the American women should emulate the men in the pursuit of the whale, the felling of the forest, or the shooting of wild turkeys, they might, with advantage, be taught in early youth to excel in the race, to hit a mark, to swim, and in short to use every exercise which could impart vigor to their frames and independence to their minds.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
“I don’t sleep. I hate those little slices of death.”
—Walter Reisch (1903–1963)
