approximately how big are cineForm hd files.(average) I'm using an Xh-A1

1min. (would be ?gb)

10min. (would be ?gb)

hour?

I'm thinking about buying Cineform

2.5 to 3 time DV or HDV. You do the math.

"FS1 averages (4:2:2) around 18MB/s
FS2 averages (4:2:2) around 22MB/s"

Just use the preset for DVCPROHD 1080 i60
Not right but close...
David you have a Calc. yet, Would be a nice addon to hdlink.

CineForm is a CQ codec, meaning that the filesize will alter depending on the complexity of the material you're encoding. My material varies drastically between a 6:1 to 13:1 compression ratio - but on most normal HD work it'll definitely be closer to the latter.
