Bar length represents bytes. The physical sizes of devices are schematic; encoding and compression affect file sizes.
A little perspective
One hour of video has about 3.35 times the data of 1 gibibyte.

1 gibibyte
Decimal kB, MB and GB use powers of 1,000. KiB, MiB and GiB use powers of 1,024. The content of a file depends on encoding and compression.
One hour of video
A one-hour video at 8 Mbit/s including all streams in the chosen bitrate; overhead ignored.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked data is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why these numbers?
The visual compares data with data. The records below preserve each value’s basis and caveats.
One hour of video
3.6 GBData · example
A one-hour video at 8 Mbit/s including all streams in the chosen bitrate; overhead ignored.
- Comparing
- Data ↔ Data
- Relative size
- One hour of video is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 3.35. One hour of video's selected measurement is approximately 235% greater than 1 gibibyte's.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- One hour of video is labelled example; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
