How to calculate movie size

Post by featherhead »

I'm struggling to render videos in mp4, on my 4th attempt to get a movie under 1 gig to upload to facebook. Am I missing some control that can tell me what the calculated output will be without having the render multiple times through trial and error?

As a rough guide standard definition MPEG 4 will use about 700MB per hour.
For high definition 1081i Using my FoxSat Satelite System to record a 90 minute episode of Sherlock in MPEG4 as an example the file size of the recording was 1.73 GB.
