An inter frame is a frame in a video compression stream which is expressed as the change from one or more other frames.

Video codecs such as MPEG or Ogg Theora reduce the amount of data in a stream by following key frames with one or more inter frames. These frames use fewer bytes than key frames because much of the image is similar, so only the changing parts need to be coded.
