With video, you can recollect better people's personalities, get more of a sense of the moment. Pictures are great, though imho videos surpass.
My parents had a camcorder that was out for special occasions. The organization is automatically chronological, everything is a highlight because there are (relatively) way fewer videos, and if you sit down to watch them, you get a multi-month span, with multiple events on a single tape.
Apple/Google Photos attempt to recreate some of this by grouping & generating videos, but for me it doesn't have quite the same feeling, they are usually too specific like "Trip to NY" rather than "November/December 1997".
Or dumping everything into one folder would work with metadata, though I've found different programs get confused with created date Vs modified date Vs other metadata used, so best to rename.
In the future this will likely be less of an issue with ai reading everything, easy organisation and searching and, I hope, an ai that can read 2 tb of videos and create a 20 min vacation edit or best of birthdays in the last 10 years etc
