Throughout the video industry, which extends to those misty shores
known as the video rental and purchase customer, the stuff that is
stored on videotape is called "software."  This may indeed be confusing
to a computer programmer.  But it should be very familiar to anyone
who regularly reads a group called "rec.video.*".

Discussing pre-recorded video software is what I do all day.  I
welcome a group that would help me cut through the hardware information
(which is of very little interest to me) in rec.video.
