For recording the video it usually depends on what my project is:

  • For VCL/Windows based apps i use Camtasia Studio 6
  • If it's game related (usually me playing them, but i've just begun working on my own ) i use Fraps


Admittedly, Fraps video is uncompressed, which means huuuge .avi files, but i always produce the final video in Camtasia which does a great job of squashing it down to size and the quality is fine for me.
