CamStudio is a simple, straightforward program to record screen activity to AVI or SWF format. You can also record audio from your speakers or microphone, although I did not test this feature. Screen annotations allow you to add custom text captions and callouts to your movies. These annotations must be saved as a layout prior to recording and can be called up with a hotkey during the recording process. CamStudio does not offer editing capabilities, so your movie and annotations must be carefully planned before you begin recording. AVI movies can be quite large, but by converting them to Flash format the file size is reduced considerably. The conversion process is somewhat slow, but generally worthwhile for the size reduction. If your needs are fairly basic, CamStudio is a handy little tool for recording screen activity and audio in AVI and SWF format. And you can't beat the price; it's free
