Bitmovin doesn't bill by the length of the video we upload. It bills for every minute of video it produces. So that a video plays smoothly on any device and connection, each upload is encoded into a "ladder" of separate copies at different sizes. Ours has four: 360p, 480p, 720p and 1080p. Each copy has its own audio, and each is billed for the full length of the video. Larger sizes, especially 1080p, cost more per minute than smaller ones.
In practice one minute of uploaded video comes to about 8.6 billable minutes. For example, a 5-minute video (4 min 57 s) recently processed in our QA environment was billed 42.5 minutes, close to 45. Longer videos scale the same way: a 30-minute video is about 258 billable minutes, and a 90-minute match is about 775.
Size (GB) is a combination of the Source and Transcode folders for this client.
Video length is the uploaded video in minutes. Bitmovin mins are what the daily charge uses.
