Definition
视频 (shìpín) is the general word for 'video' — any recorded moving image you watch on a screen. It's broader than 影片 (yǐngpiàn 'film/movie'), which refers to a finished cinematic work, and different from 录像 (lùxiàng 'video recording'), which emphasizes the act of recording or the recorded footage itself.
