API, OpenAPI and WebMCP documentation

Explanation

96kHz / 24-bit 5.1 streams 1728000 bytes/second (1.728 MB/s). MB = seconds x 1.728. With input 1 s, result is 1.728 MB.

Method & PCM Profile

Method basis: fixed PCM byte-rate estimate from sample rate, bit depth, and channel layout, then scaled by recording time at 1.728 MB/s.
Profile reference: 96kHz / 24-bit 5.1 PCM Audio (1,728,000 bytes/s; 1.728 MB/s PCM basis).
Consistency rule: snapshot, calculator, FAQ, and common-value rows all use the same fixed PCM profile and byte-rate estimate for this route.

Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Which PCM settings are fixed for seconds to mb?

Seconds to MB uses 96000 Hz, 24-bit depth, and 6 channels for this profile.

How is the 103.68 MB per minute factor calculated for 96kHz / 24-bit 5.1?

Bytes per second = 96000 × (24 / 8) × 6 = 1728000 bytes/s. Using decimal MB (1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes), that is 1.728 MB/s or 103.68 MB/min.

How do I reverse s to MB for 96kHz / 24-bit 5.1?

Use the opposite route for 96kHz / 24-bit 5.1 to convert file size (mb) back to duration (seconds) with the same PCM assumptions.
