Multiple tape video data splitter

A computer program product, for storing video data in a plurality of tape media via a ring buffer, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to, receive, by a tape data splitter, video data stored in a ring buffer;
• program instructions to, write, by the tape data splitter, the video data to a current tape media;
• program instructions to, detect, by the tape data splitter, an end of tape media event, wherein the end of tape media event comprises a predetermined buffer time preceding the physical end of the tape media;
• program instructions to, respond to the end of tape media event, switching, by the tape data splitter, the current tape media to a next tape media;
• program instructions to, select, by the tape data splitter, a resume point for the video data stored in the ring buffer, wherein the resume point is identified from a previous cut point and the ring buffer is sized to encompass a time interval of at least a video duration of a longest cut duration;
• and
• program instructions to, write, by the tape data splitter, to the next tape media, the video data stored in the ring buffer that is subsequent to the resume point.
