CamStudio is able to record all screen and audio activity on your computer and create industry-standard AVI video files and using its built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into lean, mean, bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs)

CamStudio can be used to create demonstration videos for any software program.

It can add high-quality, anti-aliased screen captions to your recordings in seconds and with the unique Video Annotation feature it can personalise your videos by including a webcam movie of yourself “picture-in-picture” over your desktop.

It comes with its own Lossless Codec that produces crystal clear results with a much smaller filesize compared with other more popular codecs, like Microsoft Video 1.
