Screenium was recommended recently in this thread: http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=115052

I bought iShowU which is nice - I think there's a free demo with a watermark to see if you like it.

Or, apparently, it'll be included as built-in in the next OSX, 10.6...

Cheers 80, they both look nice and fairly cheap.

If anyone can chime in with a free one, still v much appreciated (not sure if I wanna splash cash for something that sounds like it'll be redundant after 10.6 comes out).

^Cool thanks.

Doesn't do audio so I guess I just use Live to sync the audio with the video that I produce. Have to explore this one.

Catch the action taking place on your screen with screen recording. Start recording and QuickTime Player captures the activity on your screen and creates a movie file. It’s perfect for creating instructional media or when you need more than a simple screen shot.

Thanx, I'll check that one out. A friend also 'told' me about Camtasia Pro, seems pretty good.

Yeah, that's right... should be out in September... I like the sales pitch so far - just lots of subtle improvements, smaller footprint, no reinventing the wheel, should be good...
