The Feynman Lectures are at least more effective from the perspectives
of faculty members and graduate students.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates believes that if he had been able to
watch Feynman lecture on physics in 1964 his life might have played
out differently.
(http://tierneylab.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/15/gates-puts-feynman-lectures-online/) He admitted that if he had watched the lectures earlier in his life he might have become a physicist instead of a software
entrepreneur.
Best regards,

p.s. Walter H.G. Lewin's lectures can be quite effective too.
Quoting Calvin Kalman <Calvin.kalman@Concordia.ca>:
The Feynman lectures were never effective. Even Feynman admitted
that they didn't work. The books were mostly bought by faculty
members and graduate students.
Best wishes
Calvin
