This is an excellent video topic, and I've devastated I didn't think of it.,(reply>), @Joe 5 1/4" floppies were older tech and actually held less data than the 3 1/2" ones, 1.2MB vs 1.44MB.,(reply>), Remember, this is just The Basics.<br>The topic is ripe for a deep dive.,(reply>), Dive deeper into the issue. There's a whole world of problems with computing under laying this little quark.,(reply>), Ah, don't beat yourself up. There's still fodder here - just pick a few old DOS applications/utilities that demonstrate different methods of reporting progress, and go through them. Tell us which methods you like and why.<br>Actually, if memory serves, I think you can do at least two of them (written percentage, short bar filling) just with ARJ, as it has options for switching the progress feedback method. Then there's the programs that had the spinner (made with |/-\ characters), ones that had a line of dots, ones that had dots that turned into "o" or "O", ones that cycled ".oO"...<br>Personally, one of my favourites was RAR. It would give you two bars, one for the current file being compressed and one for the status of the whole archive being created.<br>I'm sure you can find ways to add to this... :-),(reply>), You can do something better. You can add a video about progress bars and also a script like the one Tom had with a video titled "This video has X views" where a script would periodically scrape the website and update the title.<br>So in your case, you could calculate the progress bar towards 10M views or something...
