Except that he got it wrong. AVC-Intra is strictly an intra-frame codec. Every frame is its own key frame.
The prediction that occurs does not happen across frames, it happens within a frame. Read the official Panasonic paper that describes AVC-Intra and it will make much, much more sense. (and the pictures VMI used to inaccurately describe the frame prediction actually come from the Panasonic paper!)

No. AVC-Intra has *no* GOP. It is strictly and solely intraframe.Do I understand this correctly that AVC-Intra codec is completely free in varying GOP structure?
