Interesting question...
Well I think it depends on what and how you want to learn something. Video and books can never replace a good teacher. So if you want to learn 'something' about an art and get a general idea of what an art is about then I think you can use tapes and books.
But if you really want to learn something thoroughly then it means you will have to find a teacher (who will correct your movements and such a million times). You can still use the tapes and books as reference, but as I said they can never replace a good teacher
