录制 is more formal and specific than just 录 (to record or write down). It usually implies a technical or electronic recording process. Avoid confusing it with 录音 (lùyīn), which specifically means "to record sound"; 录制 can refer to both audio and video recording.
When using 录制, the object is often the content being recorded, such as 视频 (video), 音乐 (music), or 会议 (meeting).
