The "Normal Quality (NQ)" YouTube encoding is around 300Kb/s combined for audio

and video. So if the video is 10 mins long , you can figure out that the file si
ze will be around 22MB or so.
Here's how you do it.
First calculate the length in secs. A 10 min video is 600 seconds.
Mulitply that by the bitrate in Kilobits per second (300 in the case of NQ).
600x300= 180000
Next divide the result by 8 to convert it to KiloBytes
180000 / 8= 22500
Divide that result by 1024 (how many KiloBytes are in a MegaByte)
22500 / 1024 = 21.97
~22MB
Obvisously the High Definition (HD) and High Quality (HQ) encodings are encoded
at much higher bitrates (~2000Kb/s and ~600Kb/s respectively).
