I, too, "value your privacy" but unlike most I think it is priceless and fundamental. Privacy Policy

Orders of Magnitudes

All of them based on reviewable math, no averages based on sample data where a bias could be introduced or the worst case scenario forgotten.

Audio bandwith

PCM, mono, CD Quality (16-bit @ 44.1 kHz), no compression
16 bit × 44100 Hz = 705600 bps = 705.6 kbps;
705600 bps × 60 seconds = 42336000 bits-per-minute = 42.336 Mb/minute
PCM, stereo, CD Quality (16-bit @ 44.1 kHz), no compression, 80 minutes (CD typical max duration)
16 bit × 44100 Hz × 80 minutes × 2 ch
= 705600 bits/second × 4800 seconds × 2ch
= 6773760000 bits/80-minutes = 6.77376 Gb/80-minutes
= 846720000 octets/80-minutes = 846.72 MB/80-minutes

Image filesizes

FullHD, True Color (24-bit), no compression, no color-indexing
(1920 × 1080 × 24 bit)/8 = 6220800 octets = 6.2208 MB. A file header of say 16 octets (4 octets each for: magic/signature, codec, height, width) being negligible at this magnitude.

Video

FullHD @ 60 Hz, True Color (24-bit), no compression, no color-indexing
(1920 × 1080 × 24 bit × 60 Hz)/8 = 373248000 bps = 373.248 Mbps
