I actually think it does a good job at giving a sense of scale for a petabyte in terms of video hours. "13 years of HD video" does a lot more for me than "1 million gigabytes," which was basically my frame of reference before. However that's only if you can actually interpret what it's trying to say.
Yeah my trouble was that they referenced "how much is a petabyte" and "videos nonstop for 13 years" but failed to say "one petabyte of videos related to how big one petabyte is would take 13 years to watch".

>“If one individual would like to watch high-definition films of what one petabyte means, it would take 13 years non-stop,” he added.
I'm not sure what this means.
Perhaps that 13 years of HD video data can fit in a petabyte?
Yes, it seems to be a very confused way of saying "watching a petabyte of HD video", and completely fails at giving a sense of scale for a petabyte.

I think that explanation makes more sense.
13 years of lossy compressed HD video perhaps.
RAW 32 * 1920 * 1080 * 60FPS * 60seconds * 60 minutes /8bits ~= 1.6TB per hour and about 26days for a PetaByte.
