Hours to GB for 720p 30fps @ 2 Mbps Video
6 hours = about 5.4 GB · fixed video-size estimate · 720p 30fps @ 2 Mbps Video
Direct Answer
At 720p 30fps @ 2 Mbps, 6 hours of video needs about 5.4 GB
This result uses the fixed 720p 30fps @ 2 Mbps Video bitrate profile, anchored to 0.25 MB/s.
For 1 hour, the 720p 30fps @ 2 Mbps Video bitrate estimate needs about 0.9 GB.

SwitchExplanation
Formula: GB = (hours x 3600 x 0.25) / 1000 (bitrate 2 Mbps). Why: this page fixes the 720p 30fps @ 2 Mbps Video video bitrate profile so duration-to-size calculations stay tied to one explicit bitrate assumption.
Duration (hours): elapsed video time in hours.
File size (GB): decimal gigabytes of storage, where 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes.
This route is useful when estimating how much storage a video export or stream will need under the fixed 720p 30fps @ 2 Mbps Video bitrate profile.
This conversion is profile-based rather than universal: encoded video size depends on bitrate and duration, so mirror pages should keep the same bitrate profile to remain comparable.
Common Conversion Values

Frequently Asked Questions
Which bitrate assumption is fixed on this page?
720p 30fps @ 2 Mbps with nominal video bitrate 2 Mbps.
What is the opposite direction for Duration to File size?
Use the mirror File size to Duration route; it applies the inverse relationship for the opposite direction with the same assumptions.
Can this be used for upload-time and storage planning?
Yes. It provides baseline estimates useful for archive sizing, CDN planning, and upload budget checks.
