As the topic says I'm looking for an application that can record what's happening on my screen. I know there's such an app but I can't for the life remember what it's name is. I need one to record a little howto movie for a friend of mine
TIA

Check out
http://sourceforge.net/projects/screenkast
http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/
http://www.sodan.org/~penny/vncrec/

and please report which one is the best :-)

There's also one called wing or something like that which can be used to put screenshots into some kind of movie/tutorial with bubbles etc, I've seen it a lot in the last weeks. It exports to swf, html, pdf and a lot other formats and seems to be quite nice. Maybe someone can jump in and provide the real name.

Thanks for the quick answer

xvidcap was the app I were looking for, but now I think I'll have to try the other two as well
Cheers
