1. A streaming Netflix movie is usually 720 by 480 pixels. The color for each pixel takes 3 bytes to encode, and a feature film shows 24 frames (individual still images) per second.
a.) How many kilobytes are needed to encode one frame, without compression?
b.) How many GB are there in a two-hour movie, without compression?
c.) The maximum data transfer rate used by the Netflix software is 2200 kbps. What compression ratio does are they using? (To find the compression ratio, divide the number of bits per second actually transferred by the number of bits per second for the uncompressed movie. Express the result as a percentage.)
d.) At the compressed data transfer rate, how many GB must be transmitted to stream a two-hour movie?
e.) If Netflix pays 3 cents per GB to send out data, how much does it cost to deliver a two-hour movie? Compare this to their cost of 78 cents to send a physical DVD by mail.
Could I please have some help? For part A, I have an answer of 1012.5 kilobytes, and for part b, I have an answer of .0231742859 GB. In order to solve parts c and e, I would need to know the answer for part d. In this case, would the compressed data transfer rate be 2200 kbps, and if so, how could I determine how many GB must be transferred to stream the two hour movie? I would appreciate any help I could get. Thank you so much.
