Bits, bytes and transfer speeds
Storage is usually expressed in bytes while network speeds are usually expressed in bits per second.
GuidesEstimate video storage from bitrate
Bitrate and duration are enough to estimate encoded media size.
GuidesPlan backup storage with headroom
Capacity planning should include copies and growth, not just current data.
GuidesModel compression savings before converting
Storage savings are easy to quantify before you spend time re-encoding.
GuidesPlan large file transfers
Theoretical duration is useful for scheduling even when real throughput varies.
