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 Mb/s and consumes about 50GB 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 edited with Sony Vegas 8 PRO,
Final Cut PRO, Adobe Premiere PRO, and Quicktime PRO.

Motion JPEG-A files will play smoothly on a typical contemporary computer or a powerful older computer. The higher data-rate file types - Component, Animation,
or Raw - require more powerful computers, and are recommended only for professionals with very fast computers that employ a high-speed RAID.
