Hi Lisa, That is an open ended questions. I just sent out a 25 minute Ultra High Def file for broadcast that was 92 GB. The same program at low res not intended for a big screen could be 100 MB.
The primary factors affecting file size are program length, file resolution, streaming bit rate and codec used. A 1.5 Mbps streaming rate is a fairly common request for us. So assuming you had a 30 minute program, with a 1,280 x 720 resolution, encoded at 1.5 Mbps using the mp4 coded you would have roughly a 375 MB file. Hope that gives you some perspective. Feel free to get in touch if you have more questions. Regards, Bob Robert A. Norris Managing Director Film Ideas, Inc.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
