"ViDocs" are video documentaries created and released by Bungie and later by Ensemble Studios, showcasing a particular feature in an upcoming game, that run for roughly seven minutes (except for Journey's End). These videos give players insight into the creative development processes involved in the progress of Halo 3, Halo Wars, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo: Reach. Contrary to popular belief, ViDoc does not actually stand for "video documentary"; it is a Bungie-created combination of the words "visual", "informational", and "documentation".[1]

Most ViDocs have a title in Latin that is somehow related to the content of the videos. Other ViDocs reference famous quotes, such as "Once More Unto the Breach" and "On the Seven7th Day...". These ViDocs contain interviews of various Bungie employees working on that aspect of the game in question, and a great deal of game footage.

BTS, or Behind the Scenes video documentaries, acted as the spiritual successors to Vidocs following 343 Industries' inheritance of the Halo franchise,[2] but since then the ViDocs returned with Halo 5: Guardians.

Halo 4 had it's own series of video documentaries called Making Halo 4. Halo 2: Anniversary had it's own documentary movie called Remaking The Legend instead of a short series of videos.
