Determine how many 4K videos you can store on a memory card with this professional calculator. Learn about video file sizes, formats, and storage capacity considerations.
How to Use This Calculator
To calculate the number of 4K videos you can store on a memory card:
- Enter the memory card capacity in gigabytes (GB)
- Select the video format (MP4, MOV, etc.)
- Enter the video duration in minutes
- Select the video quality (4K UHD, 4K HDR, etc.)
- Click "Calculate" to see the results
The calculator will display the number of videos you can store, the total storage used, and a comparison chart showing how different formats affect capacity.
Formula Used
The number of 4K videos that can be stored is calculated using:
Number of Videos = (Memory Card Capacity × 1024) ÷ (Video File Size × Video Duration)
Where:
- Memory Card Capacity is in GB
- Video File Size is in MB per minute
- Video Duration is in minutes
Different video formats have different file sizes. The calculator uses standard file size values for common 4K formats.
Worked Example
Let's calculate how many 4K MP4 videos you can store on a 64GB memory card:
- Memory Card Capacity: 64 GB
- Video Format: MP4
- Video Duration: 10 minutes
- Video Quality: 4K UHD
Using the formula:
Number of Videos = (64 × 1024) ÷ (100 × 10) = 65,536 ÷ 1,000 = 65.536
You can store approximately 65 complete 10-minute 4K MP4 videos on a 64GB memory card.
Video Format File Sizes
Different video formats have different file sizes, which affects how many videos you can store:
| Format | File Size (MB/min) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MP4 | 100 | Standard 4K UHD format |
| MOV | 120 | Apple QuickTime format |
| AVI | 150 | Uncompressed format |
| MKV | 80 | High-quality format |
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this calculator?
The calculator provides an estimate based on standard file sizes. Actual results may vary slightly due to different encoding settings and compression levels.
Can I use this for other video resolutions?
This calculator is specifically designed for 4K videos. For other resolutions, please use our dedicated video capacity calculators.
What if my memory card isn't completely full?
The calculator assumes the memory card is empty. If you have existing files, subtract their size from the total capacity before using the calculator.
How do I format my memory card for maximum capacity?
Use the FAT32 file system for memory cards under 32GB and exFAT for larger cards. This ensures maximum compatibility and capacity.
