Please be aware that these are rough estimates and can vary based on factors such as the video codec, bitrate, frame rate, among others. Certain video formats or codecs might attain greater compression ratios, leading to reduced file sizes, but this could potentially compromise the quality. On the other hand, formats with less compression or settings that prioritize quality may result in larger file sizes.

NOTE on Chart Accuracy

The accuracy of the chart depends on the bit rate of the video, which can vary based on the quality and compression of the video.

According to a source, a 480p video (640 x 480 resolution, 24-bit color depth) would take up about 900 KB per frame. At 30 frames per second, this would be 27000 KB/sec. Assuming a compression ratio of 40, this would result in a compressed size of 675 KB/sec.

This translates to approximately 40.5 MB per minute or 2.43 GB per hour. So, for 1 GB of storage, you could store approximately 24.6 minutes of video, not 20 minutes as indicated in your chart.

Please note that these are approximate calculations and the actual storage used can vary based on factors such as the complexity of the video content, the efficiency of the compression algorithm, and more. It’s always a good idea to have extra storage space available when dealing with video files.
