Questions & answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Which PCM settings are fixed for gb to hours?
GB to hours uses 44100 Hz, 24-bit depth, and 1 channels for this profile.
How is the 7.938 MB per minute factor calculated for 44.1kHz / 24-bit mono?
Bytes per second = 44100 × (24 / 8) × 1 = 132300 bytes/s. Using decimal MB (1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes), that is 0.1323 MB/s or 7.938 MB/min.
How do I reverse GB to h for 44.1kHz / 24-bit mono?
Use the opposite route for 44.1kHz / 24-bit mono to convert duration (hours) back to file size (gb) with the same PCM assumptions.
