Video is a way overused medium in the tech space. I don't mind a good recorded talk at a conference, but if I watch that it's for the same reason I'd maybe attend a conference, which isn't generally to learn a specific thing so much as it is because the title and abstract draw me into a conversation of sorts and I have the time for that.
If I need to learn something I will always prefer the efficiency of something I can scan and read at whatever rate I need, jump around in, explore in directions I want.
To make matters even worse in the video space, there is some really atrocious stuff out there. The worst I have seen lately is folk posting YouTube's with Stack Overflow questions as the title, and then some really bad unrelated video of something else with, if you fast forward, screen shots of the Stack Overflow question and chosen answer read out in a canned voice. Painful experience.
As a rule, written form trumps in the learning surface and video rarely appeals.
