Need to make video tutorials

[loloyd]

Can you suggest a software that can make video tutorials? I just need to capture my screen, record mouse actions on it, follow through with more screen movements, and then add some voice input. I understand Flash packages do this, as well as SwishMax. But maybe you can point me to some open-source or free resources. Thanks in advance.

Take a look at Wink...

IMO, this is best free app you'll find. ;)

I always favor a free solution, but here is a program I have used before and it was easy.
It's called HyperCam. It is fully-featured and you can use the program in an unlimited fashion. It just displays "Hypercam" in a little box at the top left of the video. You can check this program out at http://www.hyperionics.com/hc/index.asp.
It's description is: "HyperCam 1.6 captures the action from your Windows 9x or NT screen and saves it
to AVI (Audio-Video Interleaved) movie file.".

Thanks for these, guys. I'll go check them out.

My search also yielded CamStudio from SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=131922&package_id=144908&release_id=318532 - it's dated but still usable. However, it uses a custom video codec and I have problems converting it to XviD or any other MPEG4 format. I had a hard time making the codec available to other video players (Gabest) or converters (AutoGK). Duh?
