Audacity
Cross-platform sound file editor. Highly functional, though it’s a bit awkward to use, at first glance. Strongly recommend you download the LAME audio encoder so you can output directly to mp3 format, and download the plugins to add dozens of audio filters. Works on most OSes.

CamStudio
Record from computer screen, edit, and create avi/swf files for playback on any website. Comparable to Camtasia. Windows only.

[|Jing]
Lets you capture screen images and/or what you do on your computer as a video (using free downloadable software) and then share online--great for tutorials!

Kaltura
Video management platform. Make your own YouTube. Video editing, publishing and management, all rolled into one. Plug into a number of content management and learning management systems (already supported!), up to 10GB streaming available, or install on your own web server. Windows, Linux, or Mac Server (must have Apache, PHP, MySQL, mail transport).

[|Screenr]
"push button" screencast recording system. You don't even need to register, but if you do, you will find all your screencasts in one place. You will need a Twitter accoun t, but you do not need to publish the recording to Twitter. (It gives you the option to post to Twitter or not.. You can post your screencast to any webpage, though, through the embed code.) You can record up to 5 minutes.

SUPER

[|TipCam]
can record screen activities with audio and provides additional features like replacing the sound track from the videos, trimming the start and end of video and zoom to cursor while recording/ (Download required.)

Toucan
Free software as a service. Works like kuler.adobe.com to create a color palette you can use for creating art, styling presentations, or anything else you’re working on. Adobe’s Kuler (pronounced “color”) requires you to have Photoshop for full service. Toucan is free. Any platform, browser based.

Virtual Dub
Video capture and editing tool. Like a primitive version of Adobe Premiere. Processes AVI and MPEG-1, and can work with .bmp images. Excellent utility. Windows only.

Windows Movie maker
Edit, compile and share movie files. Works with WMV format and AVI format, but not much else, in my experience. Can be used to capture video from attached devices such as digital video cameras and web cameras. Free for Windows users. Obviously, Windows only.

Tutorial and presentation editor with built-in screen capture, full motion or static. Extremely robust, with a simple interface. Excellent alternative to Macromedia Captivate. Portable version available. Windows and Linux only.
