Mohammed Shahjahan, 27, was jailed for eight-and-a-half years for rape at Oxford Crown Court.
Nicholas Jones, 26, who took the footage, will serve three-and-a-half years for sexual assault and voyeurism.
Feizal Ali, 26, was jailed for three years for sexual assault.
All three will be put on the sex offenders register for life.
'Sickening' actThe court heard the woman only discovered she had been raped and sexually assaulted two weeks after the attack, which happened in November last year, when Jones showed her the footage.
Prosecutors said the woman passed out at a flat in east Oxford after drinking three vodka and Red Bull cocktails and did not remember the assault.
Feizal Ali had denied the attack
The court was told the woman had been "incapable of consent".
Jones, of White Road, pleaded guilty to two sexual assault charges and voyeurism.
Shahjahan, of Slaymaker Close, and Ali, of Howard Street, were both found guilty last month.
Det Insp Simon Morton, from Thames Valley Police, said: "The victim's courage, strength and determination has been incredible, I just hope for her, the justice system has worked and that she can now start to move on with her life.
"This has been a long investigation by numerous officers, including the serious sexual offences unit, into a truly sickening incident, which came to light after it was discovered the offences had been filmed by the men.
"It's really important that this sends the message to victims out there of sexual offences that we will do our utmost to thoroughly investigate sexual offences and bring offenders to justice."
