This video is for anyone that wants to learn how to wrap cables the way it is done by video/film and audio professionals.

The "over under" technique allows for the cable to be stored neatly with a minimal chance of being knotted up. A cable that is properly cared for in this way will last many, many years.

Here's a link to ANOTHER video that shows the wrapping from a different angle. This guy (Javier Mercedes) must be very smart because he says alot of the same things I do, except you see the cable being wrapped from YOUR perspective.
