So.... I guess there is no sanity check on that input box or something? Or maybe the wording on it just never got update
I did a stream copy so no idea if that influenced it at all.

Different types of content have different compression ratios

7100 frames of complex, noisy footage would be much larger than 7100 frames of 1 color black, for all types of compression schemes (lossy, lossless, I-frame, or long GOP)

Uncompressed video, however, will lead to the same filesize per frame
