Video courses - how to use them?

I have recently bought a couple of video courses, but I feel I haven't been able to learn much from them so far. In particular, I am referring to opening courses. Of course, if I watch an entire lesson at the end I don't remember much. I feel if I want to memorize some lines I need to go back and forth - which I have no problem doing when I use a book, but it is much harder with a video. 

So, I guess my question is the following. Is anybody out there using videos for opening instruction and being pleased with this type of instructional material? Is so, how do you use them? What is your approach?

Thank you in advance for any insight or suggestions!

I think you're correct that videos are harder to learn from.  It's one of the reasons the membership was so upset with Erik when he pulled the Old Lessons which were text based and substituted video.  

I'll post again since I knocked this out of the unanswered forum.  Some authors just can't resist the urge to be "cute" when they make presentations.  What was marginally amusing the first time through a video makes you want to smash your monitor a few runs later.  So no, unfortunately I don't know how to use the wretched things either.  

There is another site that GM Simon Williams also posts videos on and his latest is The Black Lion.  Simon can be amusing at times but him imitating a lion got old well before I was 10 minutes into an hour video.  Someone must be able to overlook all the nonsense on most videos, but it's not me.  OK you have now been bumped into the main forum display.  Hopefully, this being Saturday, you'll get a better reply or two.

Also, ChessMood is a very nice place for improvement, and whole courses prepared by grandmasters. If you see there are some locked courses, you don't have to buy them. You should become a Pro member it costs only 29$ per month and get them all for free. One of the advantages of Pro members is 1-1 call with grandmasters, so you can ask your questions to them and have a studying plan. Enjoy!

Thank you, Mockingbird. I am familiar with ChessMood; in fact I am going through a couple of their courses. 

Wow, nice! me too! So if you are a pro member like me, you can ask your questions to coach Avetik Grigoryan
