A storage and bandwidth calculator for video and audio media files. StorageCalculator is a simple way to calculate the storage and bandwidth required to store your footage. The app contains data on a wide array of professional codecs, including ProRes, XAVC, DNxHR and RedCode. The data rate chooser helps you to estimate the data rate required to fit a video of a certain duration into a file of a certain size - for example creating an MP4 which has to fit onto a pen drive. There is also a copy time estimator, which can be used to estimate the time required to copy data between different drives.
