At the most basic level, they're (byte) "streams". It's what one does before or after that varies: bitmap, file, whatever.

Image has a specific class - predictably called the Image Class (System.Drawing) | Microsoft Docs[^] for WinForms, the Image Class (System.Windows.Controls) | Microsoft Docs[^] for WPF, and the Image Class (System.Web.UI.WebControls) | Microsoft Docs[^] for websites.

There is no similar "standard class" for videos.

Check the relevant class above, and you will see what it can be created from.

More specifically, if one "knows" it's an "image file", one uses a URL to assign the file to the image "control". An image control is not an image "data type".

In addition to OriginalGriffs and Gerry's answers, for working with video usually 3rd party libraries are used.
A popular open-source library is FFmpeg.NET: .NET wrapper for common ffmpeg tasks[^]
There are also numerous paid libraries which can be quite expensive.

When working with video we usually talk about the Video Format, more information can be found here: Video file format - Wikipedia[^]

And as Gerry suggested, there is also a MediaElement Class (System.Windows.Controls) | Microsoft Docs[^]
There are some pitfalls however when using these controls, see this CodeProject article:
