a) 12 800 Mbytes
b) 1 024 Gbytes
c) 265 Gbytes
d) 512 Gbytes

Answer c) is the correct answer but I don't know how to work it out. Does anyone know how? Thanks in advance! :frown:

:dito: I was thinking the same thing too. Are you sure that was the right answer?

The answer to this question depends on what (if any) compression is used, what the frame rate is and what the colour depth is :smile:.
That is a horrible question. What AT82 said.

Oh Duh

try resolution x colour depth x frame rate x time

assume no compression

1028 * 800 * 3 * 25 * 60 * 60 = 221,184,000,000 approx equal answer 256 GB

pretty easy question really

That would be a "well duh" question if they actually gave us the FPS and colour depth. They use different standards around the world for different tv types, and on the internet standards are all but unnoticable.
