I think screencasting is fantastic. We used it all the time in my first-year engineering courses for tutorials and things. A great advantage is that it shows exactly what the graphical interface of the program looks like, which is great for showing how to find pesky, hidden features.
Some screencasts, however, need to be improved by updating them when the software version of the program updates. A lot of screencasts using older Internet Explorer versions (why anyone would use IE over Chrome is beyond me, but let's not go into that) are no longer valid because the interface has changed so much.
