English term or phrase: VT
Does anyone know what "VT" means in a film script and how it is translated into German?

Context: ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year Awards
Notation: Paige VT
Commentary: 19-year-old Paige Railey is no stranger to success. From the pinnacle of youth sailing, she's become one of the top female sailors in the world. After a strong year, Railey recently won a challenging Olympic Test Regatta in Qingdao, site of the 2008 Olympic sailing.

Thank you, once again!

Explanation:
VT = video tape = MAZ (Magnetaufzeichnung)
Und das macht hier auch Sinn, d.h. es wird ein Filmmitschnitt gespielt.

Explanation:
I did a quick background check on Paige Railey, and she seems to be from Vermont! It's a bit odd though that they left out her last name.
