How much time of video can I record?

How much time of video can i record per 1 gb of memory, while recording on 1080p?

  • Answer:

    It really depends on the codec you are using, different cameras use different codecs. Tape based HDV camcorders use the same data rate as regular minidv, though the footage is compressed using the MPEG2 codec. So 1gb would = 5mins, the same as regular DV. Depending on your computer system you may be better to capture using a format such as Apple Intermediate Codec which will allow faster editing but take up 4x the disc space. 1080P camcorders that use flash or HDD tend to use the AVCHD codec which is more highly compressed than MPEG2 so will take up less space, but at the expense of motion quality and often sharpness. Your camera handbook should tell you more.

Well... I think it would not be more than half an hour....thats bcoz HD video is of quite a high quality n requires more space than the normal one.....

Thats me.....

Check out recording time under specs... e.g. (5 to 7 mins/gb: depends on setting) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/597438-REG/Canon_3568B001_VIXIA_HF_S10_Dual.html#specifications
