Why did you convert from time to frames to frames to time when you could just have kept it in time? Also, your maths is off:

  77,000 videos * 10 seconds = 770,000 seconds
  770,000 seconds / 60 / 60 = 213.89 hours

Because people perceive video not to be 1 frame/second.

If so, those videos had perhaps 240 frames each, not 10.

Because each video posted was 10 seconds with one frame per second. If this came from a source video, it would have been at a higher framerate.
