order of adjectives (nouns)

there's this term "raw data" and it's literally "unprocessed, primary" data. if you want to add one more adjective (or a noun) such as, "video" or "audio" to this term, which sounds natural (or correct)?

1) raw video data
2) video raw data

I'm going for 1) actually, but I wanted to make sure if there are any rules for this. Emotion: smile

thank you.

I chose #1 because we can write: raw video data is video data that is original (not processed). ) than its degree of processing. After processing, it is still video data .

The data is more tightly associated with its type (audio, video, etc.) than its degree of processing. After processing, it is still video data.
