The calculator will display the total storage capacity of your SD card and the number of videos you can store based on your inputs.
Formula Used
The calculator uses the following formula to determine the number of videos you can store on an SD card:
Formula
Number of Videos = (SD Card Capacity × 1024) ÷ (Video Size × Duration × 60)
Where:
- SD Card Capacity is in GB
- Video Size is the file size per minute in MB
- Duration is in minutes
The formula accounts for the conversion from GB to MB (×1024) and from minutes to seconds (×60).
Example Calculation
Let's say you have a 64GB SD card and you want to store 1080p videos that are 5 minutes long. The average file size for a 1080p video is 50 MB per minute.
Example
Number of Videos = (64 × 1024) ÷ (50 × 5 × 60)
Number of Videos = 65,536 ÷ 1,500
Number of Videos ≈ 43.7
You can store approximately 43 videos on your 64GB SD card.
This example shows how the calculator helps you plan your media storage needs efficiently.
