It depends of the type of the file and the quality. In a regular divx (avi) format a movie of 1h30 will take around 800 MB, so in 58 GB you could store more or less 72 movies.
about 7000 songs and about 40 hours of video...........
2 GB refers to a digital storage capacity. Two Gigabytes is equivalent to 2147483648 bytes. This used to be considered a very larger amount of storage, but by modern standards is fairly small. None the less, you can store hundreds of documents, a fair number or pictures, or even a long video or two.
A hard drive does not have a compatible video card. They don't interact.
One Gigabyte of RAM would be MORE than enough for most users. If you are not planning on doing heavy video editing or gaming, a lower RAM would be fine.
8 gb is equal to 8000 megabytes, so say your average mp3 song is 3 megabytes, that's around 2,600 songs. Of course an 8 gb drive doesnt mean its 8gb available, only around 7.6gb will be free to use.
30 hours or video...
Gigabyte cannot be converted to hours, they measure two separate things. Gigabyte is the amount of data something can hold, and hours is time of course. If you are asking how many hours a gigabyte can hold of a certain type of media like music or video, it will vary. It depends on the quality, with average mp3 quality sound you can fit about 17 hours. If you are talking about videos, if you have a DVD quality video, then you fit about 1 movie, or about 1.5 to 2 hours.
Storage limits do not translate into time limits. It depends on the quality of the video, and the quality of audio. I would say somewhere around 12 hours of video tape high quality + high quality audio.
The amount of time available is related to the level of compression used on the video files which results in a better or worse image. An average movie would be around 2 or 3 GB. 40GB of watchable video would last between 20 and 30 hours.
A gigabyte is a measure of infomation [storage]. An hour is a measure of time. The two measure different things and, according to the basic rules of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. There would be a huge difference between the storage requirements of basic audio and high quality video, for example.
I own about 300 songs, 5 gigabytes of shows, and will take a few hours of video and 100 or so pics and want to put a movie on it. Any ideas?
A good rule of thumb to apply is 10 GB can record about 45 minutes of video; therefore, 20 GB - 1.5 hours, 40 GB - 3 hours, 80 GB - 6 hours, 120 GB - 9 hours, etc. This, however, is just an estimate. You will definitely get more or less depending on the quality of video. Low or poor quality will give you more time, but high or excellent clarity will, of course, give you less time.
about 7000 songs and about 40 hours of video...........
Depending on the DVD you may have: 4.7 GB (single-sided, single-layer - common) (Two hours of high quality video) 8.5-8.7 GB (single-sided, double-layer) (3.5 hours of high quality video) 9.4 GB (double-sided, single-layer) (4 hours of high quality video) 17.08 GB (double-sided, double-layer - rare) (8 hours of high quality video) Double sided disks can be written on both sides, which is why they hold about twice as much.
it can hold about 5-10 hours depending on video resolution.
Depends if you dealing with Music or Video, and it depends on the quality. In theory you could have 1 minute of video equal to 4.7GB, 10 hours, or more.
It can hold up to 80 hours of video so I would say about 40 movies assuming all movies are around 2 hours long
