Screencasting - List of recording software

Since I started to record my own screencast using Camtasia Studio I have been asked about alternative solutions either running on a different platform or being available as an open source application.

Well I use Camtasia Studio 4 as my Swiss army knife for recording, editing, and producing of screencasts and podcasts. I find it easy to use. There is still (2007-01-27) a glitch in the software  regarding production of several output formats at once. (Description). The reasons I am using Camtasia Studio 4 are:

• Complete solution - from recording over editing to producing of a screencast
  
• Several output formats - hopefully soon in one pass
  
• High quality of the flash-based output
  

If you look for an alternative, be it open source, freeware, shareware or for another platform there is a List of screen recording software on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
