Camtasia Studio
http://www.camtasia.com/
Camtasia Studio - is the premier video screen recording program that records, edits and shares videos of any action on your Windows desktop.
"Camtasia Studio is a phenomenal tool for both new and experienced users. I created 20 math videos one night in about two hours to help my students study for a test, and then I used MenuMaker to put them on a CD. It took me far longer to burn the CDs for 85 students than it did to make the videos. And boy did my students and their parents like them! I've gotten more positive feedback from creating them than just about anything else I've done in several years."
