I agree with your choice of 336 and 338.  I think most patrons would
think of "video" as a disk played on a device.

The one change I would suggest is:

337  $aelectronic$2isbdmedia

That $2 code has been recently approved.  This term would be less
confusing to patrons, since few consider Kobos or Kendles to be
computers.

Agreed.  Considering RDA's fuzzy language and many options, these will
not be the only variations.  Witness the division of DVD noncast
credits between 245/$c and 508. vs. all in 508 (my preference) in RDA
test records.
