I too, encourage the use of video.
It is human nature to deny that we have done something wrong.
When we see ourselves doing it on tape, rather than the instructor arguing with us about it, we accept that we have made a mistake, try to remember to not do it next time, and move on.
The helmet cam and gun cams are great as well. Nothing like seeing what the shooter was seeing at the moment to allow for a great Socratic discussion.
The Simunitions trainers and Paul Howe make good and extensive use of tape in their training. Paul, particularly, cycles the tape frequently so that you get the feedback quickly in the hotwashes between runs, rather than a follies reel at the end, as some instructors seem to do.
It is a great tool, when properly applied.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
