Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward combination of 'video' (moving-image recording) and 'digitizing' (converting into a computer-readable/digital format), so the meaning 'converting/storing video in digital form' is directly derivable from the parts. This is a common English technical noun + gerund/nominalization pattern and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents should understand it.
Etymology
Video digitizing comes from the idea of taking moving pictures, video, and turning them into 'digits', small numbers a computer can read. So, video digitizing means converting old tapes or film into digital files you can edit and store on a computer.
