• GIF Sizes du -cshk ./assets/videos/*.gif
• MP4 Sizes du -cshk ./assets/videos/*.mp4

Calculations

• Average GIF size: 4248Kb

  • du -hsk ./*.gif | awk '{ sum += $1 } END { if (NR > 0) print sum / NR }'

• Average MP4 size: 196Kb

  • du -hsk ./*.m4v | awk '{ sum += $1 } END { if (NR > 0) print sum / NR }'

• Average Size Difference (Total): GIFs 21.67 times larger than MP4s source

• Extreme Case:

  • person-hana-2
  • GIF: 7988Kb
  • MP4: 240Kb
