I'm holding out hope that those horrid things are just a passing fad. I can't stand them:-/

If you check out myself you can see that I do much more than screencasts with CamStudio. I use it as a full video editing program. (mixergy.com) Email me if you want direct questions answers about video (mail at awarner.com).

Windows Media Encoder, then upload wmv to blip.tv, who convert it to flash and host it (Got this idea from the Clojure guy)

Not sure why the other Windows Media Encoder user got downmodded. Perhaps it would be more useful to explain why you think your approach is better (other than your hate of Bill Gates)?

I've been using Jing for a while now. http://jingproject.com

i'm using jing by techmsmith too. in addition to allowing you to create and save screencasts, -it hosts shared images and videos, providing unique urls -you can write write on screengrabs

its a freemium, but i have yet to need the -mium.
