You probably sometimes spend hours explaining to someone, over the internet how to do something. Instead of typing at people, you can create screen recordings for them and shown them what you´re talking about.. Especially if you have your own site and write tutorials, then it´s very useful to create video tutorials. For that you need a screen recorder.I´ve tested a few free screen recorder and make a list of the best.
1. CamStudio
Cam Studio is easy to use, small size , pretty good screen quality and can record your screen session to .avi files or to .swf . For sure, the best free screen recorder, at least by my opinion.
Website: http://camstudio.org/
Download page: http://www.camstudio.org/CamStudio20.exe
File size: 1.33MB
Supported: Windows 98 – XP
Here is a video recorded with CamStudio, check it out:
2. Wink
Wink offer a lot of options ( add image , audio,textbox…it´s something like windows movie maker that can record screen), but has few limitation; you can record the screen only to .swf, also is complicated to use

File size: 3.1 MB

3. Jing
Jing is simple application that can capture video and image. Unfortunately, record only to swf. files.

I prefer Cam Studio too, although I still hope there will be a better program available sooner or later.

There is, i had terrible trouble with camstudio. Files didnt get saved, sound was missing or stuttering and more.
So i found:

This is without doubt the best free recorder.

CamStudio is nice just because it isn’t too complicated. I hate when you open a program and get boggled down by lots of features. Well, depends on the program:] But ya, for the most part, CamStudio captures pretty well.
