As a user, I prefer text with screenshots. As a coder, I'm okay with just text. Video is good for showing off the finished product, but not as good for showing how to implement something. (It's a bit of an amusing problem where someone will youtube a solution to a really common problem. :D So everyone sits there staring at a small-resolution video trying to work it out).
