In the past, videotape was the only medium used to store video captured on camcorders. Digital camcorders, however, generally record onto a hard drive built right in to the device or use external digital storage mediums, such as flash cards, also called memory cards. Digital cameras that can record video also usually store the information on memory cards. If you have a memory card with a video that you would like to keep, you can transfer the video to DVD.
