The article mentions video applications. 50-60 frames per second -> 180,000-216,000 frames per hour (possibly much more if you're shooting at a higher frame rate).

If you're shooting something that's impractical to retake (whether due to expense or it being an inherently one-time event) you want to use minimal compression, if any. Even if you are using compression, HD video eats gigs like popcorn. :-)
