It sure looks like the data rate for MJPEG is much higher than DV (DV is fixed at ~25megabits/sec or about 3.5MB/s). It is much easier/simpler to predict the amount of space needed for DV since the rate is fixed at ~12GB/hour > Hints > > Audio: ( Samplerate * Channels * Bitsize ) / (8 * 1024) > Video: (width * height * framerate * quality ) / (200 * 1024) > > You have to add both values together. To get the datarate in kb/sec. The Video formula is not giving me answers that look right. For 640x480 and 29.97 frames/sec I get: (640 * 480 * 29.97 * 1.0 ) / (200 * 1024) = 50.57 50 kb/sec? Wow -that's amazing compression ;) For audio it works out better. The DC10 produces PCM audio? Is it at 44100 or 48000 for the sample rate? Or is it selectable? 48000 * 2 * 2 / (8*1024) = 187.50 (~1536000 bits/sec) which is the correct number. If the video formula is from the howto section then there's a typo or something that is producing very low numbers.
