Some words about Camtasia Studio. This is a great screen recording software that can a region of the screen, a window or the entire screen. Since this is the Camtasia Studio it also offers applications to capture sound, edit the recording and burn it on a disk. Videos can also be saved in various formats once the recording finishes including avi and flash video.

A very good open-source alternative to this is CamStudio. Though, Camtasia does provide many additional features for video recording (and even basic editing, if I remember it right) as well as its own TechSmith codec for video compression.
Thanks for the info on a free release.
