Morphology
The meaning 'a computer file containing digitized video' is directly and compositionally derived from 'video' (moving-image material) + 'file' (a digital container), so a learner who knows both words can infer the MWE. This noun-noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic compounding pattern in technology vocabulary and is therefore readily comprehensible at B1.
Etymology
Video file comes from the idea of a file as a container and video as moving pictures. Imagine a paper file that holds pages, but this digital file holds 'moving pictures', so it means 'a computer file that contains video'.
