Screen Video Recorder is able to record everything on PC screen to video files . It offers several modes of recording, custom area, full screen etc. I can add my voice into files through microphone. It is very suitable for making tutorials.

I am using Windows Media Encoder Version 9 (sorry, I only have the German link at hand right now) to do the screen capturing, and Microsoft MovieMaker to assemble instructional movies. I capture non-moving images by simple PrintScreen (... and all free ;-) ).

It works very well for instructional videos, if I choose the encoding parameters wisely (5 fps, higher masterframe interval, etc.) and if I am consequent about media size (i.e. all programs use same -say- 800x600 ... don't mix). I even can do shots of (fast-moving) animated GoogleEarth up to 640x480 on my Laptop.

Hope that helps - good luck

I've found Techsmith's Jing to be quite good for screen video capture, though it's not freeware/OSS.
