The final data rate of your transfer may be lower than listed to the left, depending on the frame rate of your film.

All information is based on 24 frames per second.

If your film was shot at 18fps you can expect a proportional decrease inthe data rate because there are fewer frames per second.

A lower data rate does not damage the picture in any way.
High Definition File Format Recomendation

Motion JPEG-A has a data rate around 100 Million bits per second & consumes around 50 GB of hard drive space per hour.

For most applications this is a very good compromise between high quality images and a reasonable data rate.

Motion JPEG-A can be editied in Sony Vegas PRO 8, Final Cut PRO, Adobe Premiere PRO, Quicktime PRO, and other professional editing programs.


Sony Vegas Pro 8 can be purchased for as little as $129 at B&H Photo in New York.
