Barry Salt, "Film Style and Technology: History and Analysis" (London,
Starword, 2nd ed., 1992)
 
Karel Reisz, "The Technique of Film Editing" (London, Focal Press, 1952)
 
Bordwell, Staiger & Thompson, "The Classical Hollywood Cinema" (London & NY,
Routledge, 1986); some coverage of the technical issues but possibly worth
recommending as most film studies students are likely to have come across it
anyway.
 
These cover the technical evolution of film editing, and do not address video
at all.  Sorry, can't help you with that.
