Video tape

A video tape was a type of visual recording.

In 2267, the senior staff of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) watched a video tape in which Dr. Lanugu instructed them in the rematerializing of a schnauzer which had been converted to a biomagnetic recording via transmutation beam. He then revealed that the same process was being used to convert the population of the planet Styra, which the Enterprise would then transport to a new star system.
