Hi guys
We are trying to make some help files for some of the modules using screen capture.  I would appreciate it if some of you had any suggestions about which one is the best to use.

Thanks
Sam

Hey Sam
  Take a look at Wink,  Think of it as Camstudio on steroids.

Thank you alfonso and Pimm
Being new to this I was wondering if we could first record the screen and then add the audio.  What I did with Camstudio was to record the screen and then add audio through windows movie maker: is this stupid?

Actually that’s quite typical.
One major difference between CamStudio and Wink:
In Camstudio you need to add objects (Arrows and Bubble messages) while you are recording.  With Wink you can add them after.

It seems I can save it only as SWF in wink : and this does not go into youtube where I wanted to create a public channel with all the help files.
Again, I may not know if there is another option

Here is a free swf to AVI converter.

or just google for pazera flv to avi
So just do what you do when you do what you do (wink) and then do what you need when you need what you need (pazera).
