Screen-grabbing software?

RedRobo

Can anyone recommend a good screen-grabbing package? I've seen Camtasia and wondered if it is the best one to use? I need to grab audio also.

Thanks.

Can't you use Quick-time? I latest version lets you scale your recording/screen area etc. Quality has been good for me

Camtasia does a lousy job recording screens with moving objects. Like @jigglybean I use Quicktime to record and Camtasia to edit. Editing and features are better in Camtasia but iMovie is free. @Socks mentioned Soundflower in a post it is a great little free app, Google to find it. You can record all your game sounds nice and clear and free of feed back.

I use ScreenFlow works very well and the editor I think is easy to learn and use.

I use screenflow too, it's worth the cost.

Looking like it's a popular choice!

Yeah I like it because I can use it to both capture the screen and then use it's built in video editor to cut together clips, add text and effects, etc.

theres a free trail but seems like ScreenFlow 5 has gone up in price I don't remember paying $99 dollars for 4 but now supports iOS thats cool. upgrade from 4 to 5 is only $34 dollars so not bad.
