mainland 視頻

  1. 1a copy of a film
  2. 2film; motion picture; movie
  3. 3(Tw) video; video clip
In Taiwan

The everyday word for any video — a YouTube clip is an 影片, not a 視頻. Hearing 視頻 instead is a reliable marker of mainland-influenced speech.

Example

這部影片我已經看了三遍。

zhè bù yǐngpiàn wǒ yǐjīng kàn le sān biàn

I've watched this video three times already.

Measure word

Keep 影片 and it comes back until you know it.
