Re: Screencasting tools thread redux

Rob -

For option (1), I highly recommend Adobe Presenter. It does exactly what 
you describe, very easily & intuitively. And it automatically imports the 
Speaker's Notes content into your finished presentation for 
full-text-search and transcript purposes. (Cool!)
For option (2), I use Camtasia, but I'm getting more and more curious 
about Captivate. I've also embedded small Camtasia-produced SWF files 
within PPT slides and used Presenter for the bulk of the presentation 
(e.g., the plain-vanilla PPT slides.)

My particular need is just to make quick screencasts with some audio,
no background music necessary. Two types:

1. Going through and talking through a PowerPoint slideshow.
2. Going through and talking through web or application screens.>>
