So, yeah. How much information can one fit into an MP?

They seem to be relatively small, but, It's really hard to say.

Lise, can I hold 9 million phone numbers per mp? or is it only like 12?

What can I fit into an MP? and why are the programs you write so huge?

This has been done to death in the past.

The consensus is that a megapulse is approximately one million pulses. Beyond that no one knows.

Much like a penis in a Penthouse Letters, it's as large or small as you want it to be to make it fit your story just right.

One (1) minute of arbitrarily high-quality video.

One (1) minute of arbitrarily high-quality audio.

Thirty (30) seconds of combined arbitrarily high-quality video and audio.

One (1) second of baseline simsense.

One-third (1/3) of a second of Full-X simsense.

Yes, the same way SR3 "solved" the problem of utility piracy.

Those values are for the “wet record” before post production cleaning up and compression. Distribution grade is probably about 3sec/MP base line and 1sec/mp full X (polypov,* #pov)
