Art/Literary - Media / Multimedia / DVD/ Film Production from | | French term or phrase: captation | Bullet points on a resume:
Captation du spectacle au Centre XXX (name of venue)
Captation du spectacle de la tournée internationale de YYY (name of performer)
Although it is clear from the page heading that the goal of this "captation" is the production of a DVD, I still feel that "recording" has too much of an audio connotation. Any suggestions? Thanks. |

...is absolutely fine; it may be an audio or video recording, or both, or even other possiiblities again
I'd advise against trying to look for difficulties where there are none, which risk pushing you towards an unnatural alternative.
Otherwise, you could use 'shooting', which makes it clear that it is visual material. |
