Screen Casting

There are several solutions that I have found for creating screen capture video. The most popular is Techsmith's Camtasia, which cost a mint to purchase. Jing, which is also made by Techsmith, is a free screen capture app that installs on to your computer and exports as a Flash file. Not easy to work with once captured. CamStudio is another free program that can be downloaded from sourceforge. com. It captures the screen and saves the video either as .avi files which can be edited or as Flash. The one I am using currently is ScreenToaster.com. It does not require any software to be installed. This product can be used on computers that are locked down. The file can be downloaded in a .mov format (quicktime, iMovie). All of these software can either capture the whole screen or part of a screen. Jing and ScreenToaster need the computer to be connected to the interent. Try them out and use the one the suits you.
