How does Brandon capture screens for Video Tutorials

Hey Brandon [cakewalk], old buddy old pal...

What do you guys use for screen capture (and playback) when you're recording a computer screen for your tutorials?

Of course, I'm looking to do the same for CBT type things at work.

And of course, clarity and compactness are the two main goals (although often at odds with each other, I know).

Anyone have any good suggestions and/or success stories?

TIA, -sd

    This is the industry standard, although there are pretty decent freebies as well:

    Yup we generally use Camtasia for the screen caps. In some videos however the screens are actually filmed directly with a hi-def camera.
