CamStudio records activity from your screen and audio from a microphone into AVI video files and can also convert the AVIs into Streaming Flash videos (SWFs) using its built-in SWF Producer. Latest Stable Version: Camstudio-2.0-w32.zip
It's great for what it's designed for (showing stuff in low-graphics environments), but I wouldn't really recommend using it to record Portal videos (which is what I did, and it didn't come out all that well). The Portal video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKUZdrGs6to
It's the best screen caster that I have used so far. The recordings come out very well and the convert to SWF functionality is great. Sadly, it measures time in seconds instead of minutes and seconds so you have to do math while your recording sometimes. My big buff with it is that the "Record from speakers..." functionality has never worked for me due to "driver incompatibilities". This is the third computer in which it has not been compatible. It would also be nice if there was a version for Linux so that I would not have to use coLinux and VirtualBox so often.
Easy to use, better then most of other commercially available tools. Job done well.
