My Canon EOS 450D has a video-out jack that looks a bit like a headphone socket. What is this port used for? Can I use it to record video from the camera, or is it only for playback/display?

The 450D does not support video recording, but you can use the video out to display images on an external TV. You could use the live view mode of the camera to generate a live video signal, but you would need to encode this in some form yourself (as well as syncing with audio)

The Canon EOS 450D does not have built-in video recording. That video-out port is mainly for sending the camera’s image to an external TV or monitor for playback/display.
If you use Live View, the camera can output a live video signal, but that does not mean the camera is recording video internally. To make an actual video file from that output, you’d need external capture hardware/software to encode the signal yourself, and audio would need to be recorded and synced separately.
