HD Video on 1TB harddrive
How much HD video can I get on a 1TB harddrive? How many minutes/hours?
|
Re HD video - is it mpeg2 compressed just like it came off the tape? In which case 13 GB translates to 63 minutes of video, plus or minus.
Or has it been run through a codec like Cineform, in which case it will depend on a lot of factors. Or is it completely uncompressed? |
For HDV, about 75 hours.

Thanks. I guess it was just a general question on how many hours. I really don't know what format to keep it in. I want to store it all for backup purposes in lieu of keeping it on tape.
Looks like I need to search the boards... Thanks for the 75 hr. answer. That's JUST what I was looking for... a ballpark answer. |
I hope you are keeping it on tape as well because a Hard Drive is a mechanical device that will stop working one day.
Just look at all those ipods that don't work anymore. |
I will have everything all backed up on tape, but I have a lot of clips that I reuse over and over, so those will be on the hard drive for easy access.
As a follow up, how much SD video for DVD would fit on 1 TB? Ballpark... |
