Capturing Screen Activity Is this Possible?

[Saladsamurai]

Hi guys and gals,

I am looking for some free software that would allow me to capture what I am doing on my screen in a video format. Much like a screenshot captures a still shot of a particular screen, I would like to take a video.

I have no budget for this so I was hoping it there was something free out there.
I am running Windows XP, so it would need to be compatible.

Any ideas? All suggestions are welcome

Thanks,
Casey

Awesome! Thanks Greg. I actually just downloaded a 30-day trial of Camtasia from CNET.com. And it seems to do the job. But I will definitely check out Free-Screen since it most likely gives you a perpetual license. I can see so many opportunities to 'wow' people (sales people mostly;) ) with a presentation that incorporates stuff like this!

Try Jing, it's free and works really well. http://www.jingproject.com/"

I've used an app called CamStudio quite a lot:

It's free and has the ability to record to flash as well as the usual video formats. Also able to record sound - so you can capture app audio or your own commentary.
