However, if the d-frames become corrupted, or if the i-frames get removed, the pixels onscreen will move in some extremely glitchy ways.
The d-frames are much more efficient for video compression since they store only pixel movement data rather than an entire image.
I-frames are essentially a complete image of a video frame, whereas d-frames are comprised of where pixels from an i-frame need to move to. Compressed videos contain i-frames and d-frames.
In short, datamoshing messes with a video’s compression, causing the pixel information to become corrupt.
