I often find I have too much information to remember (and for some reason people expect me to be able to spout pixel aspect ratio numbers like a multiplication table). Fortunately the fine folks over at Digital Rebellion has solved this (and for free). They offer several video widgets that do important math, these run on a web browser or iPhone (and a couple can run offline as well).
Video Footage Calculator - Calculates how much storage you'll need for your footage type and duration.
Web - iPhone version - Offline version
Film Rate Calculator - Determines how much film you need for a particular scenario.
Web - iPhone version - Offline version
Aspect Ratio Calculator - Determines the aspect ratio for different footage formats.
Web - iPhone version
Depth of Field Calculator - Calculates depth of field for many camera sensors.
Web - iPhone version
Pixel Aspect Ratio Calculator - Determines relationship of Pixels for many digital formats.
Web - iPhone version
Lens Angle Calculator - Helps calculate the lens angle for a given sensor size and focal length.
Web - iPhone version
Power Load Calculator - Calculates the load on a circuit to see if it is excessive. You can also calculate the minimum circuit breaker size for the given load.

These tools are cool, free, and useful.... three points that make them a must have for my iPhone.

Great stuff. I’ve loved the Video Footage Calculator widget and it’s helped on big projects to know how much storage space to expect.

Yeah… several of these are on my phone and are great when in a pinch…

Sure,
The best part for me is the total load on the circuits. I have come across overload issues often.
