What it is Filled
A technique for recording, copying and broadcasting moving visual images, usually with sound, using analogue or digital video technology and storage media such as videotape, videocassettes and digital files; applications include television reports, documentation of events and performances, video art and videodance, with formats such as vertical video for mobile screens, while the resulting works are products of the technique rather than the technique itself, and its use is governed by standards, copyright and consent rules.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain video recording as a technique encompassing recording, copying and broadcasting moving images, relay its technology, formats, standards and history from media sources, describe its applications, and distinguish the technique from its resulting works, photochemical film recording and audio-only recording.
Distinguishing features Filled
- The technique uses electronic video technology.
- Recording stores moving images on a medium.
- Video technology supports multiple analogue and digital formats.
- Recorded works and documentation are products of the technique.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Record people in private places or without consent where consent is required.
- Publish recordings of identifiable people beyond what they agreed to.
- Alter a recording in ways that misrepresent what happened.
- Discard the only copy of an old recording without the owner's decision.
Only with a human decision
- Publishing or sharing a recording of identifiable people.
- Handing recordings to third parties, including authorities, without legal basis.
May
- Record video where the agent is authorized and the people in view have consented or the law allows.
- Migrate video from decaying tapes and old formats to keep it readable.
Moral aspects Filled
- Video can expose people's lives; privacy and consent are central.
- Recordings are also evidence and memory, and their loss can wrong people.
Who is affected
- People recorded
- Owners of recordings
- Audiences
Owners Filled
Steward
No single owner holds the technique; practitioners are responsible for its use, and rights in resulting recordings are held separately.

Recognition optional Filled
- The technique records, copies or broadcasts moving visual images.
- Videocassettes and digital files are media or representations used by the technique, while television reports, video documentation and videodance are applications or resulting works.
- Photochemical film recording uses film stock, live video broadcasting need not create a stored recording, and audio-only recording lacks moving images.
- Not a visible object; footage on tape or file.
Capabilities and actions required Filled
- explain the technique and formats
- relay technology and standards
- describe kinds of works
- distinguish related media
Hazards and failure modes required Filled
- Format obsolescence and tape decay
- Recording without consent
- Confusing video recording with film or broadcast
Standards and interfaces required Filled
- Video standards from SMPTE, ITU and MPEG
- Copyright in recordings
- Consent and privacy rules for recording people
- Archival preservation standards
Context of use required Filled
- Capturing moving images and sound.
- analogue videotape and videocassette recording
- digital video recording to files and cards
- broadcast and television reports
- video documentation of performances, research and events
- video art, video works and videodance
- mobile and vertical video

- Wikipedia: Video - general description of the item
Open questions
- Should videotape and video art be separate primary entries?
- How should media standards be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming formats and genres; should they be split off?
