Video Disk Space Calculator is a a handy little utility for editors that calculates necessary disk space to capture or store footage in a given codec/data rate.

Simply choose your desired codec from the drop down list, input the length of your footage in minutes, and VDSC will display the data rate of that codec and the required storage space in either MB or GB.

We mentioned a similiar program previously, it’s a free Dashboard Widget called VideoSpace that performs basically the same functions as VDSC.
