Cineform again: How much space is needed?

[JanBee]

It's probably somewhere here or on the Cineform website - but I couldn't find it.
Duh!

Given I select the LARGE option to get the best quality out of Cineform (with the ASPECT version). How much more space does this codec need compared to MXF DVCPROHD 100mb? The latter is 1gig per minute. How is Cineform doing here?

I have 1 TB of MXF data and I need to know how much harddisks to buy (and if I have to select files for editing more strictly)

:dankk2:

Then 100Mb DVCPRO-HD CineForm on average is more efficient, so it will take 15-20% less space. Although as we are a VBR codec data rate will vary depending on the source. If you up-res your DVCPRO-HD from 960x720 to 1280x720 CineForm it will take a little more.
