視訊資料於現今社會下於生活中廣泛被使用，從專門用於拍攝影片的V8、DV，到結合攝影功能的數位相機，更甚至於最近的手機、平版電腦，其之影片拍攝之功能，更成為其之基本配備。是以，視訊資料做為證據使用，亦隨之成為普遍，視訊證據於刑事審判程序如何被使用，將有討論的必要。 除說明本文之研究動機、研究目的、研究方法及範圍外，本文依序探討視訊資料之發展以及視訊證據之概念與優缺點，並藉由介紹美國學者對於視訊證據之分類，以建立視訊證據之討論基礎。接著，討論視訊證據於美國刑事審判程序之調查規範與適用，並分析視訊證據於美國刑事審判程序調查時所可能發生之問題，探究美國刑事審判實務相應之解決方案。最後，比較與我國刑事審判實務上對於視訊證據調查之差異，以供我國刑事審判實務之借鏡外，亦藉此分析視訊證據於我國刑事審判程序調查時所可能發生之問題，並尋求相應之解決方案。 / Video evidence is extensively used nowadays. From the use of professional motion-filming video 8 mm and digital video to digital cameras with filming function, as well as cell phones and tablet personal computers, the function of motion-filming has recently become essential and indispensable. Therefore, video evidence treated as evidence is progressively common, and it is necessary to discuss how video evidence is used in criminal trial procedure. In addition to elaborating the observation motive, purpose, method and scope of this thesis, the progress of video materials as well as the concept and odds and ends of video evidence will be sequentially discussed. Furthermore, the discussion ground for video evidence will be built by means of introducing the classification of video evidence from scholars in the U.S. To continue, there will be a focus on the discussion of the investigation rules and application of video evidence in the U.S. criminal trial procedure, and then analyze the possible questions which may arise while using video evidence in criminal trial procedure in the U.S. as well as explore the corresponding solutions used in the U.S. In conclusion, the U.S. will be used as a reference model by comparing the divergences of the investigation process in video evidence between our country and the U.S. In the meantime, the probable questions that we might confront while investigating video evidence in criminal trial procedure will be assayed, and afterwards, the corresponding solutions will be searched for.

Summaries in Afrikaans and English / Text in Afrikaans / In hierdie proefskrif word daar gekonsentreer op die bewyslas in die nywerheidshof omdat die nywerheidshof se benadering met betrekking tot die bewyslas verskil van geval tot gevaL afhangende van die aard van die regshulp waarvoor die party je die nywerheidshof nader. In die tweede plek volg 'n bespreking van hoe en deur wie die voorlegging van getuienis aan die nywerheidshof mag geskied, hetsy by wyse van dokumente of getuies en daarbenewens oak 'n bespreking van watter soort getuienis aan die nywerheidshof voorgele mag word met spesifieke verwysing na inter alia, klankopnames, videobande en die resultate van leuenverklikkertoetse. / In this thesis there will be concentrated on the burden of proof in the industrial court because the industrial court's approach in regard to the burden of proof differs from case to case, depending on the nature of the legal aid for which the party /ies approaches the industrial court. In the second place a discussion will follow of how and by whom the presenting of evidence can be done, whether by documents or by witnesses, and in addition thereto also a discussion on which sort of evidence can be presented to the industrial court with specific reference to, inter alia, taperecordings, video tapes and the results of lie-detector tests. / Private Law / LL.M.
