  Videotape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In virtually all cases, a helical scan video head rotates against the moving tape, because video signals have a very high bandwidth, and static heads would require extremely high tape speeds.
Video tape is used in both video tape recorders (VTRs or, more common, video cassette recorders (VCRs)) and video cameras.
Tape is a linear method of storing information, and since nearly all video recordings made nowadays are digital, it is expected to gradually lose importance as non-linear/random access methods of storing digital video data are becoming more common.

Tapes from HI-8 camcorders generally must be played using the camera as the source, which means the user often must connect cables to their television or VCR.

As the video camera increasingly replaces the photo camera, more and more families jeopardize the long-term survivability of their cherished family visual recordings by continuing to keep them on traditional videotapes.
Storing your tapes on top of your television or VCR subjects the tape to heat, electric fields and temperature fluctuations, all of which speed the degradation process.
Video CDs, which are viewable on DVD players as well as computers with CD players, are also a viable option, but provide lower resolution and crispness.

In addition to referring to the presidential election, the tape -- which includes text saying it was made Sunday -- refers to such recent events as the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks and the 1,000th American casualty in Iraq, which also occurred in September.
In the tape, bin Laden traced the idea for the attack on the World Trade Center to Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1982 in pursuit of Palestinian terrorists, a bloody conflict that roiled Middle East politics and eventually involved U.S. Marines.
Experts who viewed the tape questioned whether its intended audience was really the American people and whether bin Laden's intent in releasing the tape had anything to do with the election at all.
