Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositional: a 'video recording' is a recording that captures video, which is the predictable combination of 'video' (moving images) + 'recording' (saved sounds/images). This noun–noun compound follows a common cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Video recording comes from two simple parts: video, which originally means 'I see', and recording, which means saving sound or images. So it literally means a saved moving picture with sound, and that is why we use it for a saved movie, TV clip, or camera tape.
