A Bit of History on Data

[@EscapeMCP]

Been working in IT for 20 years and never realised that HDDs look for a CHANGE in magnetic field, and not just the direction of said field. Makes total sense what with the current induced/inducted into the head. Really enjoy your videos - you cover topics which are very handy to know if you are going to be making films, but are still useful even if you are not (which I ain't). Thanks.

[@MovieMationStudios]

Could you do a video on encoding and how big production houses process all of their footage to get ready for editing? You are the most informative channel on all of KZbin John and I respect you greatly!

[@catsgonom]

I've learned more from this channel in one day of watching than I have in 2 years of film school. Why am I even going to college? This is free!

[@jinitaimei38]

same with me hahahah

[@DIYCameraGuy]

As always, this is a well crafted and informative show. Thanks for all of your hard work.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Thanks John. I love the background information and how it helps others understand how we got to where we're at. And I love this -- "But first, you have to get out there and make something great." -- John Hess :)

[@FilmmakerIQ]

+Basic Filmmaker History is key. So much of what we do is just an echo of what came before us. The difference with film is, we now have a record. :) I often watch old films from the 20s and think how much shared joys and sorrows we have with those people on the screen who are probably not among us anymore. This medium can transcend time if we only make the effort to let it.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Well said sir. I am also an avid watcher of films, which are a stamp in history that presents itself as it was presented at the time it was presented and made. One of my favorite "sci-fi" movies is the 1951 version of The Day The Earth Stood Still. It's my favorite as it captures the U.S./Russia propaganda machine. Here's an outsider (alien) point of view that doesn't understand how people who live on the same planet could be so mistrusting of each others intentions. Keep up the good work - you're creating history for future generations. :)

[@Spacekriek]

Thank you, a very well produced video. I need to point out something at 10:10, both lands and pits on a CD or DVD are read as zeroes, the transitions are taken as ones.

[@mosesknows2062]

Wow, another great video, glad to see you're back John. Thanks much, Moses...

[@jay_mw]

Taking about the cards used in cameras reminded me of my first digital camera that used 3.5 inch floppy disks.

[@WAQWBrentwood]

"Hot Electron Injection" is a good name for a band! 😀

[@seanramsdell4172]

It's good to see you back, IQ

[@JuanFelipeCadavidjfcr]

Great to see you back! Love all your videos, please keep em coming

[@skepticallypwnd]

Nerdy nitpick: you kept saying "Ten" thousand 24 instead of "one" thousand 24...or "ten twenty-four" Just nitpicking. Great episode! (as always)

[@FilmmakerIQ]

+skepticallypwnd oops

[@DKlarations]

+skepticallypwnd Was going to make that comment as well.

[@nabilmouatabir5972]

+skepticallypwnd Was about to comment on that as well :) +Filmmaker IQ Great ep.

[@RCAvhstape]

This is great info. But to add another nitpick: when current can pass through a switch, we say it is "closed", and when current cannot pass through, we say it is "open". A switch is part of an electrical circuit, and a "closed" circuit allows current to pass through it from one terminal of the voltage source to the other.

[@nateo200]

First digital camera. Was a kid and me and the family were on the way to Washington, DC to tour the White House (we had an in with a high up), I was real into tech and I remember the camera took pictures at a whopping 1600x1200 onto a 16MB CF card! I made my dad buy a "large" 128MB card and I got myself a 128MB SD card for my Mp3 player. Oh how funny it is that MB's have turned into GB's in terms of whats acceptable, 16MB's was okay then and now 16GB's is just about okay now! Crazy!

[@DanRichardson]

This video confirmed to me that SSDs are magic.

[@cavalrycome]

Nicely done. A very thorough treatment of the topic.

[@ArcadeGames]

I loved this. Why the 4 dislikes? I guess those people are still using pen and paper to store information lol.

[@SunnyMeadows90]

ArcadeGames yeah I know right but It used to be punchcard’s just ask the military or don’t because they may still need them to be a Secret or not?

[@airplane1557]

Great video, you explained things very well. Please keep making these great videos. Thank you very much.

[@Lynxdom]

Wonder-full episode!

[@RamboX-lw9bn]

I really enjoyed your video on the history of data. I did spot a mistake. The MS PC OS file system is NTFS and not NTSF (as stated in the video).

[@thecloud23]

The Windows Filesystem is NTFS not SF ;) Thanks for your videos! Really love them!

[@BiscuitLazers44]

You got to petabytes and I thought, okay he’s gonna stop. But then you kept going and GOING! I never even heard of a Yotobyte!!! Can’t imagine what sort of data will require that much storage in the future; simulations of the mind perhaps

[@alexbright7735]

what a wonderful lecture. first time I found this channel. subscribed now and look forward to watching more videos

[@ericpa06]

OGM! I was waiting so much for a video about this topic :)

[@potatius6421]

a terrabyte is what happens when you faceplant really hard on soil

[@arnoldpollock]

Excellent video! Thanks!

[@AdamMcDermott]

5:05 And I always thought I was being screwed every time I bought a new hard drive.

[@kaitoelitex4901]

Thanks man! You save my life.

[@MarcoKrage]

Wonderful Video Thanks. But you made a little mistake in naming Filesystems. Its NTFS not NTSF.

[@NvidiaGeforceFan]

Very well done!

[@andygarciaphoto]

Another great video!

[@navjuice]

Thanks for this. Very informative

[@alexlandherr]

A mod manager I have for Kerbal Space Program (CKAN) uses the base 2 or power of 1024 to give data size of files.

[@FilmmakerIQ]

Can't wait for KSP2!

[@websitesthatneedanem]

Thanks John, some very intersting info there!

[@ClashBerry]

Great video!

[@fadetounforgiven]

Great video as usual. I think I'll be wrong with this since all I find about it seems to say the same as in the video, but I'd swear that, back in college, I studied about data transmission and error correction, and I think I was told it was not the hole/no-hole what made the 1's and 0's in cd's, but the change from one level to the next that meant a 1 and no transition would mean a 0. But, I guess I'm wrong. Again, great job with this video as usual.

[@FilmmakerIQ]

+fadetounforgiven On further research - you are correct - it's not the pits and lands - it's the change - just like with Hard Drives.

[@fadetounforgiven]

+Filmmaker IQ oh, thank you for answering and in such a quick manner. And thank you for allowing myself to prove I still have some memory intact ;-) Thank you!

[@lagallinaradioactiva7611]

I understand that Shooting Ratio is the total duration of footage created for possible use. That 10:1 means that there’s times more shots of the actor saying “Hi” that are intended to be used. But what I’m not clear on is if that ratio takes into account multiple takes of the same angle, or if it means 10 different angles (or a combination of the two: like two angles, 5 takes each)? And also, do bad takes count towards the ratio? I mean, is 10:1 ten times USABLE footage, or just ten times the footage -regardless of how much is good/usable-?

[@FilmmakerIQ]

+La Gallina Radioactiva Shooting ratio isn't an exact thing - it's just something that you use to estimate how much film stock (or digital media) that you would need to buy to capture what you need. This includes EVERYTHING, multiple takes, multiple angles, good/bad takes - every second the camera is rolling. This doesn't mean there's 10 versions of any given scene - some shots can be done in one or two takes, but some complex scenes need more coverage.

[@pcuser80]

@ 17:44 its NTFS not NTSF ;)

[@BenVost]

At 6:29, you have Terrabyte, instead of Terabyte (more nitpickery I know, these vids are superb).

[@fadetounforgiven]

+Ben Vost That's maybe just in case we get back to the Moon, then we'll have Lunarbytes ;-)

[@X-OR_]

You forgot the nibble.... 4 bits is nibble. Great Video !!!

[@Themoigt]

Awesome video, nice info

[@johneygd]

By the time we will have film and fotos at 18K and audio at 24channel surround at 128bits,yotabytes will be common.

[@amrkoptan4041]

woow.. what an effort!!! ur awesome

[@MikeeHollMartz]

As always, GREAT VIDEO!!! :)

[@starwars7950]

well done!

[@VikTheGreat360]

can u guys please do a video on codecs and different encoding?

[@FilmmakerIQ]

+VikTheGreat We cover some of the basics here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpmrgqprfNeqrrc but we could go more into it in a future episode.

[@stachowi]

So good. Wow.

[@alexlandherr]

What about Memory Alpha...?

[@roxonogueira]

Can you explain why most cellphones are $100 to $200 more expensive as the storage goes up, specially from 16 to 32 and 64? Is it just a marketing scheme or is there technical limitations? You don't find that price difference between sd cards.

[@FilmmakerIQ]

+Pedro Nogueira I'm sure part of it is the cost of the extra memory and part of it is probably just marketing

[@musaran2]

Among other things, do not confuse storage space (=SSD) with working space (=RAM).

[@Pauldjreadman]

Yes, a new one

[@bobbolt3099]

The title is a pun. MUST WATCH :O

[@jamessmith99731]

Good content.

[@Chevy-jordan]

He posted the video like 15 mins ago (19:35 minute video) and you have people saying "Great video" and "Very informative" ... haha..?

[@FilmmakerIQ]

+Chevy-Jordan Thompson I'm just assuming they are pre-emptive comments :P

[@chochmah]

+Chevy-Jordan Thompson Well,, wasn't me but I get the sentiment. The channel stands for great quality infotaiment put out for free. What's not to like a priori?

[@Julmeni]

"A Bit of History on Data". I see what you did there^^

[@CharlesVanNoland]

Just a little correction: wherever he says "ten-thousand twenty-four" it should be "one-thousand twenty-four" because 2^10 = 1024, which is one-thousand twenty-four. I'm sure most people would never know the difference anyway :P

[@FilmmakerIQ]

I never said ten-thousand twenty four. I'm saying ten-twenty-four as in 10-24

[@damaliamarsi2006]

He forgot 4 bits is a nibble(SP), because a nibble is half a byte. :)

[@awiseseal7559]

HAH

[@robbyboyo]

Awesome.

[@MsMRkv]

Good video

[@ruhaan3447]

Does Ubuntu use HFS+ or NTSF or another?

[@the80386]

+Ruhaan Kakar linux can use different file systems but generally you'll see ext3 or ext4

[@lisboasuave-theroyalteahou3717]

the best! thanks =)

[@jojagro]

very interesting

[@JohnDoe-oj8dz]

SSD is not a hard drive... The "Hard" in hard drive refers to the hard physical disk. Therefore, an SSD is a Solid State DRIVE, and nothing more.

[@musaran2]

Yeah well if you want to nipick it is not a drive either since there is no mechanical arm to drive. It could be said to drive the read vs write current level, but this is just a case of a name becoming to popular for marketing to give it up. Anyways moving from HDD to SSD requires a reworks of the computer storage architecture as it blurs the distinction with RAM.

[@AgnostosGnostos]

At 17:50 Microsoft file system is NTFS and not NTSF. Not big deal. Apple OSX lion 10.7 2010 and later actually reads NTFS without extra software. But it can't write on it. This is very useful in MacBooks with both OSX and Windows installed. On the other hand Microsoft can't read or write HFS+ The omission of Linux file system ext2 and ext3 is very serious. FAT32 would have disappeared a decade ago if SD cards and Linux devices didn't support it for compatibility reasons.

[@FilmmakerIQ]

+Agnostos Gnostos No Camera system uses Linux file systems...

[@FilmmakerIQ]

+Filmmaker IQ Linux also represents 1.5% of personal computer market. Here's a list of other file systems we omitted: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_systems

[@lOOKatMiaMi]

That some amazing facts

[@NEMIHEMERA]

Now I know!

[@RCAvhstape]

Digital media is the new celluloid? So it's highly flammable?

[@l77e]

[@mdturnerinoz]

Well done, John. I wish you would have been my instructor in 1968 in computer school! But then, you would have not been here or in diapers, eh?? ;0)

[@LazyScoutJace]

I want one Exabyte of dollars. Heck I'd even settle with one Exabyte of pennies! (Wait, does that even make sense?) ;)

[@SilverSpade92]

9:28 Was that my left bicep?

[@mrflamewars]

JIGGABYTES!

[@B3Band]

NTFS, not NTSF

[@filmnewsreport3231]

That's a lot of DVDs...

[@steampunkerella]

neat

[@yosoyalbertico]

Realy difficult video. :-(

[@TomFewchuk]

One thousand and twenty-four *

“A BIT of History on Data” *ba-dum-tss*

[@alexlandherr]

At 7:51, Soon to be eclipsed by Linus Tech Tips...

[@SunnyMeadows90]

6:42 ok how come I have a movie that is 1.61(TB) and it’s not 54 minutes and 44.5 seconds but 22 Hours and 20 Minutes + 0 seconds and it is in 4K raw at it’s heart it is 1080p + best for pros = 4K but best for pros can’t be alone it needs 1080p on top of it otherwise it would be nothing K raw or 0K raw meening 0p and yes I use iMovie but news flash so does Disney well thay use it to put every thing to gather as for why it’s so much Data it’s because thay use 256K + 2K or best for pros and thare movies are only from 1 hour to 3 hours but mine is 95% of a day and it’s now I,m getting complaints from my pathetic 536(GB) + 666(MB) + 666(KB) + 666(Bytes) + 6(Bits) Computer Rustbucket Witch can only hold a 3rd of the movie or 33.3% When it’s empty but it’s all most full so maybe 10% at Best at Worst 0.5% Of it

[@FilmmakerIQ]

Wow that comment is so utterly incoherent that it's unreadable. But the answer to your question is probably "compression"

[@SunnyMeadows90]

Probably yes and editer pro 2 is nothing less then a except at Compressoring files to mp4 instead of mov and the Quality stays the same at least in my eyes and a few billion others

[@SunnyMeadows90]

P.S 0110101101011010110101101011010110 0110101101011010110

[@SunnyMeadows90]

PP.S I may have a 32(GB) USB and a 4(GB) USB witch = a 36(GB) USB some where and maybe I will find a 666(MB) computer some where and a 666(KB) computer must have existed at sometime so I will look for that as well and I will probably look for a 666 byte Computer as well and lastly but not least a 6 bit computer was one of the early computers to come to be so it might be around at least as a relic that could probably still work if plugged in to a Power source of course

[@39zack]

2years later and every youtuber with too much money shoots 4k raw

[@FilmmakerIQ]

+Zack or 8k raw

[@zioscozio]

At 17:41 it should have been NTFS. For the rest great video!

[@FilmmakerIQ]

+scozio Lashings will commence at sundown! Dyslexia again strikes.

[@zioscozio]

Nae worries, good to see you back on this channel. :)

[@WAQWBrentwood]

"Hot Electron Injection" is a good name for a band!😀

[@MattMadoni]

Is there any way we can donate so you can post videos more often?

[@JoeBetro]

Would you consider using Patreon?

[@ethansk8ter]

+Matt Madoni I would do it too

[@Pauldjreadman]

I am assume the reason for the time between videos is the at what you see, uty takes time. The more overlays, the loooonger it takes

[@kingemocut]

the best thing about 4 bits? it's a nibble. you can't make this stuff up.

[@Gamganca]

+kingemocut A shave and a hair cut for two people.

[@mckseal]

Wilhelm scream in the opening, I expected nothing less. By the way the CGI looks nice but I miss the blackboard animation style.

[@Non_Machina]

This is one of the best data storage summaries I've watched. Period. Thanks for the many minutes well spent. Also, I'm sure someone has pointed out somewhere the NTFS. - 10

[@montage2726]

Thanks for posting. Another informative and enjoyable video. 0001111101010110101111010000101010010001001....... NTFS = New Technology File System. Yet *another* creation from Microsoft -_- Get yourself a co-editor to help spot some of these.... (if at all possible, with blonde hair, blue eyes and a sweet disposition) Noted that 'Star Trek' sound effect at 9.13 This video reminds me of that scene in Breaking Bad where they destroy the data on a laptop in a Police evidence warehouse with a giant electromagnet. Ha-ha,...that was funny. Thanks again for posting. How much time does it take to complete one of these great videos, from idea to completion?

[@PogieJoe]

Thanks for all the hard work you put into these, John. They're always phenomenal and I always learn a lot!

[@casperes0912]

Think I'm up to around 2TB of archived footage now. I really need more storage...

[@SunnyMeadows90]

But what comes after yottabyte like as in what happens when you get to 1000 what’s the name ?

[@SunnyMeadows90]

Never mind I figured it out

[@Ozzyisunavailable]

thanks for clearing that 400x jargain i kept see on mc packages, it really bothered me

[@tHustr4]

I always find myself saying "Make something great!" along with the video hahaYou guys are great thanks fore these useful videos!

[@anchorbait6662]

The Windows file system is "NTFS" not "NTSF", i know it's confusing but just wanted to point that out.

[@FilmmakerIQ]

Anchor Bait not if you run the dyslexia update.

[@anchorbait6662]

Filmmaker IQ haha computer jokes are funny :)

[@DAVIDSDIEGO]

Always entertaining and informative! The FAT32 4GB size limit and exFAT information, could help out some creators on YT.

[@cornishchris8404]

How about stacking movies all on 1TB flash drives and stacking that?

[@lifewithlani2637]

The title sent me here. I was looking for a bio on the android from ST:TNG. Just kidding.

[@Doughnutsareyummy1]

7:35 dat cut though :) great video as usual, very informative.

[@GranVlog]

You forgot to show us how data is split up with a beginning and a end.
