It depends on the information. For DIY information for example i find it much better to see someone show how to lay brick or frame a wall than to read how it is done.

I'd say that for mechanical topics (construction, car repair, etc.) a video can be very useful. But please, provide a written transcript, since that's at least searchable.

That's fair. Video games are another thing which lend themselves pretty well to video content.
