Depending what you want to achieve out of this training at home.
If you are more interested in the martial aspect then I'd wager if you get a few books and train hard at home, you'd clean the floor with someone who goes to a dojo once a week but who's heart isn't in it.
If you are more interested in the art, then no you cannot learn purely from books and videos.
I believe a lot of martial art discipline comes down to training your body to react before your conscious mind has a chance to bugger things up, hence the endless drilling and kata.
