If you have a movie with say 10Mbits/sec. bit rate does that mean you can put 9.333mins on a 700MB CD?What about video chat?If you have a 10Mbits/sec. connection does that mean you can video chat with a 5Mbtis/sec. bitrate(because you have to send and recieve at the same time video) or 10Mbits/sec. bitrate video?

The formal abbreviation for "bit per second" is "bit/s" (not "bits/s"). In less formal contexts the abbreviations "b/s" or "bps" are often used, though this risks confusion with "bytes per second" ("B/s", "Bps"). Even less formally, it is common to drop the "per second", and simply refer to "a 128 kilobit audio stream" or "a 100 megabit network".\n\n"Bit rate" is sometimes used interchangeably with "baud rate", which is correct only when each modulation transition of a data transmission system carries exactly one bit of data (something not true for modern modem modulation systems, for example). Similarly, hertz, the SI unit of frequency, is not precise without some context, such as the number of bits carried per cycle.\n\nFor large bit rates, SI prefixes are used:\n\n1,000 bit/s = 1 kbit/s (one kilobit or one thousand bits per second) \n1,000,000 bit/s = 1 Mbit/s (one megabit or one million bits per second) \n1,000,000,000 bit/s = 1 Gbit/s (one gigabit or one billion bits per second) \n\nWhen describing bit rates, binary prefixes are almost never used and SI prefixes are almost always used with the standard, decimal meanings, not the computer-oriented binary meanings. There are exceptions in some specialty areas such as bus transfer rates. Binary usage is more often seen when the unit is the byte/s, and is not typical for telecommunication links. Sometimes it is necessary to seek clarification of the units used in a particular context.

You're gonna have a heck of a time trying to get a full movie fit onto a CD. And, I'm not sure video files will burn to CD format.\n\nI use DVD 1 Click Copy to do what you are describing. Works great and is easy to use.

the ones u get from file sharing are not dvd and they are avi or divx or MPEG format but when u rip a dvd u will get all of the dvd which means around 4.3 GB and it is divided into 5 to six files most of them are 1024MB (VOB) so u need a dvd to avi converter to get the size u want which arround then 700 to 900 mb and that can be controlled withen the software u gonna use to do the convertion but remember u gonna loose alot of quality after convertion. anyway try this to do the convertion \n\nhttp://www.shspvr.com/howto/converting_mpeg_divx.html

Background:\n\nDVD-R and DVD+R are both single layer, although they are composed of 2 disks glued together; one for recording and the other as a stability layer. DVD+ has the ability to support dual layer disks, but they must have DL after it (i.e. DVD+R DL).  Dual layer DVDs hold 8.54 GB and DVD's hold 4.7 GB, which is about 4.38 Gigs on a computer because DVDs are measured differently. DVDs spin about 3 times faster than CDs, allowing a larger data rate, making them optimal for video.  By the way, DVD means Digial Versitile Disk.\n\nAnswer:\n\nThe DVD- format was set up by a group as the "standard".  DVD+ disks are rivals of the DVD- format, and therefore are not considered as an official format, but they work in most situations.  The + disks are engineered differently and are considered track better and write better.  Again, the + system will SUPPORT Dual Layer, but it must be labeled with a DL.

first of all it depends how much 80 of hours can hold because quiantly of the video, the higher and better it is, the more space it eats up.\n\n***********\nlets say 80 gb is your shoppoing storage\nbuying a Internal Hard Drive-  (80gb whould be about $50 bucks)\nPRO: give you more space, is always on so you can transfer there super FAST,\nCON: not portable much, so if you need to show some movies to your friends you have transfer to them with usb,ethernet, or any other means, or you can take apart from computer put in your friends pc and setup jumpers. bascially time consuming and frustion if it doesn't work out.\n\nBuying a External Hard Dive (80 GB is $100)\nPRO: portable\nCON: not as fast as internal Hard Drive, Transfer is slower, Price is higher when you try to get a the same amount for stoarge compare to internal\n\nBuying IPOD + 80 GB HD ($300 for 60gb so 80 might be more)\nPRO: portable :), plus you get to listen to music. you can convert to mp4 and watch on the lcd screen :)\nCON: tranfers isn't as fast as internal hard Drive, Price is higher when you try to get a the same amount for stoarge compare to internal and external hard drives, the battery is not make to watch movies so the batttery drains fast if you watch series or movies on it, i'ts only make to watch clips ont he LCD screen\n\nBuying DVD-RW with CDs ($30 bucks for DVDRW, CD are usally $30 for pack of 100 and DVD are $50 of 100)\nPRO: saves cost when you compare the total amount of storage, portable \nCON: time consuming when you transfer(dvd takes 15-20min to record a full data disc), gets messy and you need a shelf os something to store them, plus if you are lazy you might no even wnat to put back in your computer.\n\nI had that kinda for question a while ago.\n\n###########\nI have a 120GB hard on my computer, i d/l a lot of JDRAMA and KDRAMA so each series are atleast 10gb :) so we know it eats up a lot\nI also download them and trade off with my friends so we don't have to d/l and waste space so much, so usally swap for series for a week to watch. in your case you should get a internal hard drive if your not trading files over and only need storage.  becase it fast and cost less.\n\ni used to burn them on cds, but i would have 10 cds per series, TOO MUCH CD when you burn 20 series\ni switch over to DVD disc, but after burning 30 series, i have 30 disc, in which is ard to find which one and gets ruin (scatches easily) both method of cd burning takes a lot of time.\nI boughy myself a 80gb external hard drive, and i'm been doing that eversince. i just swap my hard drive them and they start to buy one too so we just swap back and forward hard drives :)

It deends on a lot of things,\na)What is your connection speed.Is x be it then  X/8  is the max download speed possible in Kb/s.Eg:For a 256 Kbps connect,32-40(max)kb/s possible\nb)It also depends on the number of Sources who have the same file and who are online\n\nRegarding the other detail,depending on the legality of the file in question , other sources are possible!!!

You only have 4MB between you and your Internet Service Provider (ISP), so you can only download files on their server at that speed. As you found out, you'll run into other bottlenecks everywhere else.

.9 gig per hour is plenty good for tv. I don't know what technique you are using to go to dvd but at this rate you can fit about 4 hours of video on a standard one sided dvd-r

BitTorrent allows you to download from many peers at once.  So theoretically (THEORETICALLY) you could have very high speeds (maxing out your connection even) if you have a sufficient number of 'peers' (other computers) sharing the file that you want.\n\nHowever, in practical terms... I can usually achieve something like 50kbytes/second.  Some really popular things I've got as good as 90kbytes/second.  But getting 5kbytes/sec isn't totally unusual either.\n\nThe client shouldn't affect the speed much if at all but they do offer different features with respect to configurability and ease of use.\n\nPersonally I use azureus.\n\nTurning off the PC.  Download stops (if it hasn't finished).  When you start it again the download will continue (at least with Azureus).

http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=3912  And you connection will never be 100 Mbps.  This is the connection speed on your internal LAN.  Internet speeds are usually around 1.5 Mbps for DSL and 5 Mbps for cable, and you will still never hit these speeds with torrents.  You should be happy with average speeds of 100 Kbps.

Of course 10 Mbps is better than 3 Mbps....

typically dvd's run about 4.7 gigs for one side of a disc\ndivx movies are dvd quality but only take up about 800 meg's\nCrappy low quality movies can be around 100-200 meg's\n\nHope that helps you.  I would go for a 250 gig drive because soon you wont be able to get anything less than 120 gig's.

Thats a little slow for an 8x, but it could be your computer hardware that cant keep up or you could have a small buffer.  Also you need to look at your DVD DISC that you bought, make sure your not buying the cheap ones, they are usually 1x or 2x burn speed so you might not be getting 8x burning capabilities.  For those of you who think your burning at 52X that is for CD's only.  MAX rate on DVD's is 16X

You cannot compress a 1GB file to 700MB file.\nOnly you can cut the clip into two parts and write it into 2 CDs. Using a VCD cutter or Movie maker...

Sorry to tell you this, but there's absolutely NO WAY to get around the IT department's proxy servers (the "gatekeepers" of the network) as they'll prevent access to the ports required for streaming AV streams.\n\nThe only place that you MAY sneak by the IT department temporarily (as the IT department will eventually catch onto it) would be Pandora ( http://www.pandora.com ) as it streams its audio through Flash.\n\nEven if you take the lowest possible bitrate for broadcasting (24 KBps), here's how the math would come out:\n\n24 KBps * 3600 sec/hr * 8 hrs = 691,200 KB (691.2 MB) / workday \n\n691.2 MB / workday * 7 days/wk = 4838.4 MB (4.8384 GB) / wk\n\n4.8384 GB / wk * 4 weeks / mo = 19.3536 / mo.\n\nConsidering Bandwidth costs $2/GB/mo (high-end), it would cost $38.71 / mo in Bandwidth.  You also need to be aware that streaming audio & video constantly requires the a chunk of available bandwidth to use.  If your download bandwidth is 700 KBps & the stream you're listen/viewing is 100 KBps, that leaves 600 KBps for everybody on the same connection.\n\nIf you multiply the bandwidth requirements over multiple users, it will eventually squeeze the available bandwidth & slow down the speed of others.  For example, if you have 10 users on 700 KBps  connection & 5 of them are viewing/listening to a 96 KBps audio/video stream.  That leaves only 200 KBps available for the other activities.  So if everybody is downloading a file at the same time while the streams are active, the downloading speed on that file would average around 20 KBps instead of around 70 KBps.\n\nI know that my examples are in a Micro-network (10 users or less), but in a large-scale network...  this could spell massive problems, especially if somebody is telecommuting as their upload speed is affected by the download speed of the server/network they're connecting to.\n\nWhy don't you burn an CD full of MP3's (or an audio format you prefer) & play music off of that?

Cable modem is the fastest connection speed. If you have that and still have problems run crap cleaner on you system with the link below. Read the information on it first to see what all it does. It may help if you start the movie and then pause it for a while before trying to watch it\n\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com/

100hz is the frequency that the video card updates the monitor.\n\nFPS is the number of frames per second your video can play at.\n\nThey are two different things.  If you're getting 50 fps, I'd be happy with it. That's not bad at all.
