CamStudio

CamStudio, a free and open source Streaming Video software, can record all the screen and audio activity and create industry-standard AVI video files and convert them into streaming flash videos (SWFs) using its own built-in SWF Producer. Among the couple of ways you could use this utility are - create demonstration videos, create video tutorials for school or college classes, produce a set of videos to answer most frequently asked questions, create 'video brochure' for products, record new tips, tricks and techniques which you wish to remember, record a recurring problem to show to tech support, and more. The unique Video Annotation feature helps to add high-quality, anti-aliased (no jagged edges) screen captions. You can even personalise the videos by including a webcam movie of yourself "picture-in-picture" over your desktop. CamStudio's own lossless codec facilitates production of crystal clear videos, a much lesser file size compared to other codecs.

CamStudio can be downloaded at http://www.camstudio.org/CamStudio20.exe
