Create Tutorials or Demo Videos with CamVideo
It’s easy as ABC to create a video for your users how they can perhaps do their own maintenance on their websites, or to pitch to a VC how cool your IT Application is. By creating a desktop capturing video, you create a big wow effect.
Try out CamStudio , a free utility to execute exactly this.
CamStudio is able to record all screen and audio activity on your computer and create industry-standard AVI video files and using its built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into lean, mean, bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs)
For Linux users however, take a look here http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/02/05/194332.php. The author recommends use of xvidcap. As you might have already known, I have always been a fan of open source, so this post follows my belief closely (:

Nope I haven’t had great experience with this. It hangs sometime. Some times the files are corrupted. For windows users camtasia/captivate is the word unbeatable
Camtasia’s biggest advantage is free !
