Which media format can hold more information?

The option that holds the most information is the digital file. Digital files can store vast amounts of data in various formats such as audio, video, images, and text. The capacity of a digital file to hold information is determined by its bit depth, sample rate, resolution, and file type, making it highly versatile and efficient for storing complex data.

In contrast, leader and test patterns are primarily used for specific functions in media production, such as timing and calibration, and do not contain substantial content. Film negatives also contain limited information compared to digital formats because while they can capture a great amount of detail visually, they lack the adaptability of digital files for storing diverse data types and require physical space for storage.
