There are a lot of video disk space calculators out there.. but this handy little tool from some place called Rabid Jackalope is one of my favorites. It’s very simple: pick the video format, your length in minutes and you get the required megabytes or gigabytes. There is also a handy date rate chart so you can see just how much is going through the pipe. The only thing missing is DVCPRO HD as one of the formats. With the Panasonic HVX200 coming on strong, that is very much needed. I sent a feature request / question over but haven’t heard anything. I hope the jackalope adds it. It is freeware and can be grabbed here or here.
