Screencasting is recording a movie of a computer screen, and then usually adding audio narration to it. It can be pretty useful for creating demos and tutorials.
I found a site that reviews all the common screencasting software on the market. Not much love for the mac I’m afraid, dah well.

Do any of you use flash or any other macromedia program? I think it might be beneficial to have the programs be easily integrated with one another. ( especially people view these videos via the web )

Yep, most of them support flash, and that would be the preferred playback method I think.
Here’s an example, I used the Freeware ‘Wink’ software (windows only, kinda clunky to use) to make this SWF demo a couple months ago:

The problem with Wink is it doesn’t support voice overs, as far as I know. Which I think is really the way to go, as text narration takes too long to make/forces the user to read, which they don’t wanna do anyway.
