It's been just over a year since TechSmith launched the Jing Project, a free utility for capturing screenshots and screencasts. Users can also upload their video recordings to Screencast.com to share with other users. Techsmith is celebrating Jing's birthday by increasing the amount of storage space it gives to Screencast.com users to 2GB. That's ten times more space than you would have gotten last week.The program is pretty powerful as free screencast recorders go. But there's one major limit: You can only record screencasts up to 5 minutes. One of the reasons the company gives for this time limit is the sheer file size of long videos. Perhaps now that TechSmith is giving away more free storage space, we'll see the company remove the 5 minute time limit as well.
Jing is available for Windows and OS X.

That and it crashes if you look at it funny... Works great *WHEN* it works.
Ended up buying Screenflick... which certainly cost more, but at least it worked.

I've had very good luck with Jing. Hasn't crashed once and you can't beat the price.
We share movies between our remote QA staff and the rest of the company.

Why pay if there is a free daemon tools available. That has been around for years now and mounts everything!
