In my experience, in game experience has been far more valuable then videos or walkthroughs. Videos miss A LOT. Every dungeon I go into, I watch videos beforehand, and in my experience in almost every single situation, said videos and walkthroughs everyone is espousing has missed deeply critical information. Minor nuances of the fight that make a BIG difference.

Maybe it's because I work I.T., but in general, I never assume someone knows something. I EXPLAIN EVERYTHING when I come across someone new in a dungeon to the best of my ability. Even seemingly minor and simple stuff. It makes a huge difference in the longrun. And many, many, many of these videos fail to do just that.
