Video bitrate and file size calculation
You have the bitrate and the length, so you can simply multiply them together:
24 MBPS * 2 hours * 60 minutes / hour * 60 seconds / minute = 172,800 MB
If MB in your case is "Megabits" and not "MegaBytes", then divide by 8 to get 21,600 MegaBytes or ~21.6 GB.
I did it in a different way. I figured out how to calculate the bitrate per size of picture to always get the best for a 2 hour movie.
frames per sec. -30
res.width -1920
res.height -1080
Gop size -12
frame/sec by Gopsize
(30/12=2,5)
pixels in 1 frame
(1920*1080=2.073.600)
pixels in frame/sec
(2.073.600*30=62.208.000)
bitrate max needed
(62.208.000/2,5=24.883.200)
-24000 - 24Mb/sbitrate with 70% loses
(24.883.200/0,7=17.418.240)
- 17000 - 17Mb/s For 720i with loses 70% and will give a size of file equalling 10Gbfor losses of 40% give 4Gb and screens with a res of 720-480 and an aspect ratio of 3/4, this will give size 3,7Gb for 70% and 1,4Gb for 40%
