Video tutorials are awful if they're the only option. I read very quickly, and videos are typically paced at the lowest "average" comprehension level, so they're a painfully inefficient way to relay technical information.
Plain text wins again, at least for one-way technical communication.

I will never understand why people think that the crappy audio channel of a youtube video of some guy "umming" and gulping through a poorly prepared speech, all recorded on a $5 microphone, is a suitable way of passing information.
