I've been following along with some screen capture videos to start learning ruby on rails. I like the screen captures turned into the tutorial and want to make my own.
What's your favorite screen capturing video making tool?
How do you make the screen capture video tutorials?

Great, thanks.
Thanks guys, I'll check it out. I'm trying to tell someone how to add/edit content on their Joomla site from across the country. A movie will be much better for them. They are not up to a VNC install on their own, this should be great.
dann's tutorials & vmware
;i've been wanting to do this myself for a while now, so i've looked into it a bit. dann wrote an article a while back called "Creating Animated Screenshots on Linux" for linux gazette. there's also "Flash video screen captures with vnc2swf" by rob reilly, and some show notes from episode 87.
;i'd never heard of wink, i'll have to check it out.
;also, vmware has included a recording feature in their latest version of vmware workstation. not free, but as proprietary goes, vmware is top-notch.

;i'm interested to know whether this includes the capacity to record or insert voiceovers into your recording. i'd also like to know whether it can record formats other than avi.
;speaking of animated screen captures, i think the flash format is ideal for this. for most applications--such as software demonstrations or tutorials--the audience will be on a computer. i like the fact that the vnc2swf captures don't interpolate the pixels on the screen (i.e., make them "fuzzy"), and i like that you can resize the recording window to capture just a portion of the screen.
;i've been mulling over an idea to create an online school for geeks that would teach computer systems engineering, administration, and programming with and for linux and free software. i think flash demos with voiceovers would be its killer app.

Dan was in Psychology?
Interesting. I didn't know that. Contrats to Dan for being able to work at what he enjoys, Linux.
I think I'll try the vnc2flash too. That looks even better after reading Dan's article.

You got istanbul to actually work ?? I apt-get installed ver 0.1.1 on Kubuntu here.
The icon in the tray shows up, but clicking to start recording see'sCPU go to 100% and icon turn to square. Clicking to stop doesnt do a thing and one needs to kill the process.
Shame, as it looks great.
