ScreenFlow for Mac
http://www.flip4mac.com/screenflow.htm
ScreenFlow for Mac
I've had so many Mac users recommend this to me that I'm going to spend the money
ScreenFlow is a new application for creating amazing screen recordings on your Mac.
Using a unique new screen capture system, powerful enough to capture the contents of your entire desktop at the same time as your video camera, microphone and computer's audio, you'll be creating incredible screencasts in no time.
ScreenFlow has the best screen capture available. Using a custom multithreaded SSE & Altivec accelerated, 64-bit enabled compression system, ScreenFlow can handle everything from capturing DVD video & audio to fast moving Keynote presentations.
Record Everything: You don't need to pick an area of the screen for capture, ScreenFlow has advanced algorithms that only encode areas of change on your screen. The application is powerful enough to simultaneously record from your iSight or DV camera at the same time as your screen (and your microphone and computer's audio!).
Highlight: During your screen capture, ScreenFlow tracks where your mouse cursor is, when you click and when you press a key.
This allows you to add mouse click effects (both visual and audible), an overlay showing your key strokes and even lets you zoom the mouse pointer up & down.
Edit: Once your screen capture is complete, you're transported to the ScreenFlow editor. Using a familiar timeline interface, ScreenFlow lets you easily add zoom & pan effects, trim clips, add drop shadow & reflection, adjust audio levels etc. You can even combine existing media into your screencast.
The finished result is a QuickTime movie, ready for publishing to your website or blog.

Reviews of ScreenCasters
http://www.donationcoder.com/Reviews/Archive/ScreenCasting/
Reviews of ScreenCasters
ScreenCasting is the new hip term for recording movies of your computer desktop as you demonstrate some program.
The name is a bit misleading because you aren't actually broadcasting demonstrations live - you're recording movies to post on your website (or send via email, etc.).
After an exhaustive review of screencasting software, which involved making dozens of demo movies spanning several full hours of video, we narrowed down the list of best screencasting tools to a small handfull. We tried hard to choose a single best tool from this set of top contenders, but in the end we decided that we couldn't pick a single winner. Instead, this review represents the first shared Best-in-Class award at DonationCoder.com
