How many minutes of video will 64mb hold?

Answer 1

Video is one of the types of data that takes up the most space.

It can not be compressed very much if you do not want to loose quality.

There are compression scemes available that manages to compress very much, but at a great loss of detail and color information.

certain Cartoons can be compressed quite a lot, but even here you will not be able to get more than about 30 minutes in a semi decent quality for a TV screen.

If you plan on compressing something for a portable, say a small phone-video screen, then this can not show an awful lot of detail and the compression sceme can be chosen accordingly. Up to 70-90 minutes is possible on 128 Mb.

I did a test on my Ice Age 1 DVD once and managed to get the entire film onto my Nokia 6225. The file was about 120 Mb and was quite playable on the phone.

For most people and for playback on a TV, even the best compression programs would use at least 600 Mb for a 'decent' quality ordinary movie of 90 min. Low framerate, low bitrate on sound, low bitrate on video, great loss of colorinformation, makes this possible.

Vivid colors and high resolution and framerate, crisp and clear sound in surround, would demand at least 1 Gb for a movie of 90 minutes. (Here, only the sound tracks would use up 128 Mb.)

128 Mb is more suitable for stillpictures and a camera. Even with 5 mega pixels photos you can hold about 60 pictures on the memory card. If chosing 1 Megapixel resolution you can hold more than 400 pictures on this 128 Mb card.

Music in MP3 format is also a perfect use for this card. 4-5 minute songs in quite good quality takes up 4-5 Mb each. you can hold 27-30 songs or the equal of about two full CD's on this card.

Answer 3

It all depends on the quality of the video, (higher quality is smoother but takes more space) but you should be able to get at least a couple minutes.
