We've been grappling with the same. We've come up with several scenarios, depending whether one wants to pursue item level description, description of groups of items by media type, or description of intellectual components, regardless of media.
You may recall a thread several months ago on the EAD ListServ about EAD for AV. Our AV archivist Megan McShea collected a lot of examples from archivists across the country and set up an EAD for AV Google Group at http://groups.google.com/group/ead-for-av

How about:
<physdesc><extent>1</extent> <physfacet>Scotch Umatic UCA 60</physfacet>
<genreform>videotape</genreform>.</physdesc>
