Lesson Introduction
-------------------------
Before digital technology, video was recorded, edited, and stored in the
analog format on tape. After the introduction of digital technology, video
was still recorded on tape, but to make editing easy, people first
converted video to a digital format. Today, _digital video technology_
allows you to record video in the digital format on a digital storage
device, such as a CD, DVD, or flash memory card, and edit it on a computer
by using digital video editing software. This has benefited both home users
and professionals. Both home users and professionals, such as movie makers,
use digital video technology to create videos and films with titles,
introduce transitions between scenes, and add special effects.Lesson
