I have a lot of experience in doing this (for VW and OS, but the  
issues are the same).

I'm on a Mac, and I use the following:

-- For my daily screencasts, I use IShowU to capture what I want.  I  
restrict the capture window to an 800x600 area, and then use QuickTime  
Pro to push out the stuff that gets posted

-- For presentations at events, I've started using ScreenFlow.  It  
captures the entire screen, but allows for some nice effects like

	Picture in Picture, where you can bring in other media (like, say the  
video from a camera)
	Highlighting sections of the screen with nice transitions
	... and other stuff that I haven't really explored


For Windows, I hear good things about Camtasia, but I can't say  
anything about it from personal experience.  I used Wink for awhile,  
and it's ok, but it's all still image aggregation - kind of a "live  
slide show" effect
