Super Darn Handy Widget - VideoSpace calculator for codecs & drive space 

Apple - Downloads - Dashboard

This alone will cut down on my emails by getting rid of the "how big is this format and how much space will it take up on my drive?" questions.

UPDATE - or download directly from this page on the Digital Heaven website.

The link provided gets you to the Apple Dashboard Widgets page, from there select from the Widget Browser Category (Calcutlate & Convert) and then VideoSpace (the thing you want 'n crave). Download and install if you're running Tiger. If you aren't running Tiger, this is reason #4682 that you should be. If you're on a PC, tuffit.

Download this sucker now, and you'll know how big every codec is at every frame rate for any duration. Totally helpful thingy.

Do it now.

Thanks for the compliments Mike. If you don't want to go through Apple's search thingy you can also go direct to our VideoSpace page to check out the instructions and download from there.
 
That is the hottest thing since fire. Shweet!
