The sign for "video" depends on what you mean. If you
mean to mean the noun video as in a movie clip then you would use the sign
for "MOVIE." If you mean the verb as in "to
create a video" then you should use the sign "VIDEO-record." See: MOVIE
See: VIDEO-GAME
Notes:
Hearing people might say, "Hey, want to come over to my place for a
video?"
Deaf tend to say, "WANT COME MY HOUSE
WATCH MOVIE?" (Or some other version like, TONIGHT, MY HOUSE, MOVIE
WATCH, WANT JOIN?) The point being, if you mean specifically a
"videotape," "CD," or "DVD" then go ahead and sign exactly what you
mean. Otherwise you should default to MOVIE.
