Capture PC screen to video
-
I need to capture PC screen output (including the mouse cursor) to create demo videos. I can Google but I would like some personal recommendations. Cost is unimportant (Marketing Department are paying) but I have nothing against free so long as it works. The output will have to be delivered to Marketing who use Macs to edit video and produce the final output in WMV and the wretched QuickTime. The software therefore only needs to be capable of some sort of capture - it doesn't have to be able to do video editing or any of that stuff. I wouldn't object to any extra features but would rather avoid bloat. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
