   For a video at 1920x1080 resolution (Full HD) and 30fps, the storage   
   space needed depends primarily on the bitrate and length:   
      
   A typical bitrate of 5 Mbps at 1080p/30fps will produce about 37.5 MB   
   per minute of video. This means you need roughly 2.25 GB per hour (37.5   
   MB x 60) of video storage.   
      
   Another estimate suggests between 1.2 GB to 1.4 GB for 1 hour of 1080p   
   video, likely varying based on compression and encoding settings.   
      
   For streaming data estimates, 1080p at 30fps uses about 2.03 GB per   
   hour, which aligns with the above storage values.   
      
   Higher estimates (around 124 MB per minute or 7.44 GB per hour) may   
   represent less compressed or higher-quality settings such as those used   
   in certain phone defaults
