Good morning,

I was doing some thinking over the weekend (while cooking ribs on the grill :) ). Does anyone know who much data 1 hr. of HDTV produces? Let's try 720 for now and perhaps 1080. I'm looking for the file size if you store the whole thing
in a single file.

Well, I didn't have any idea ten seconds ago, but now I know that one
hour should be roughly 3 GB.  (So a movie should be 5-6 GB.)

ATSC allows rates up to 20 Mb/s, so 1 hour would roughly by 9 GB (base 10).

Raw data from a mini-DV camera uses 25 Mb/s, but it is not compressed.
