Assuming a rate of 30FPS, a resolution of 1280*720, and an acquisition of 5 seconds, how is the size of the .bag file calculated?

Hi @wenmingxiaohuo There is not a formula for calculating the size of a bag file in advance. However, I recorded a depth stream of 1280x720 at 30 FPS to a bag file for 5 seconds and the file was 143 mb in size.

Thank you very much for your reply. I don't think the depth stream data is the whole content of the .bag file, although there is no specific formula to calculate it, but I think I should be able to calculate the size of the .bag file if I accumulate all the data of the .bag. How should I calculate it? Suppose the RGB data rate is 30fps, resolution 480*640

[MartyG-RealSense]

I recorded another 5 second, 30 FPS test bag with depth 1280x720 and RGB 640x480 and the bag was 267 mb.

Your work is recognizable and commendable, thank you for the test!

Hi @wenmingxiaohuo Do you require further assistance with this case, please? Thanks!
