Do you encourage your students to watch videos?
I am sure most will answer yes...but why?
Let me clarify. I am talking about instructional or demo videos of martial arts. Or even taking video of the student so that they can see themselves.
I guess, to some extent I would even include martial arts stories - like VanDamme and Seagal.

Not demo videos which most turn out to be but instructional videos yes and to date I have found only 6 out of the thousands out there that are worthwhile and you won't find them on you tube.

I do not.
Not most videos anyways.
Our school has videos of our head instructor going over all our katas and sometimes I will reccomend a student watch one of those videos to help remember the kata, but that is only after he or she knows all the moves/how to properly perform them.
And I'm pretty sure most people do NOT encourage their students to watch videos. Watching videos does not teach proper technique and it's so much harder to try and change your technique once you've been doing it for a while then to just learn it properly the first time.
