So I’ve been on the lookout for a good (and cheap) method of capturing video of my computer screen for displaying websites offline etc. After doing some research and trying out a few pieces of software, I found CamStudio to be sufficient for my needs. It creates .avi files that can easily be imported into flash or .swf files. The interface is a bit clunky but at the same time pretty simple. Best part is that it’s free. It’s pc only but if I were on my mac, I’d probably download the free trial of SnapzProX.
I tried Wink but it didn’t work for my needs. It takes a series of stills but the outcome is too slow to make a smooth movie. I hope this helps.
