<P> Digital cinematography has mostly shifted towards `` tapeless '' or `` file - based '' workflows . This trend has accelerated with increased capacity and reduced cost of non-linear storage solutions such as hard disk drives , optical discs , and solid - state memory . With tapeless workflows digital video is recorded as digital files onto random - access media like optical discs , hard disk drives or flash memory - based digital `` magazines '' . These files can be easily copied to another storage device , typically to a large RAID ( array of computer disks ) connected to an editing system . Once data is copied from the on - set media to the storage array , they are erased and returned to the set for more shooting . </P>
