Darren Straight has blogged about getting Camtasia Studio 3.1.3 for free! This isn’t the latest version, but works perfectly fine for creating the odd screencast.
Very cool! Thanks Darren.

Awesome, thanks, but apparently it doesn’t work with Vista 🙁

Did you try it already? (I don’t have the guts to try it myself 🙂
About Vista, this thread is interesting (and offers a possible reason for the version number discrepancy in some of the blogs that mention this offer: 3.1.2 / 3.1.3):

It still seems that Vista may be incompatible though. I hope not.
It also looks like SnagIt! is available

I just gave 3.1.3 a go and first time it didn’t work, however as mentioned in one of the forum posts I changed the recording type to AVI (In the recorder, go options and on the general tab select save as AVI).
Haven’t tried sound yet.
SnagIt! doesnt appear to work great on Vista either. Part of my is thinking I might just pay for the upgrades to the software as they are really good and useful to have around. Might then encourage me to do some more screencasts (or just some…)
No problem at all dude! 🙂
