Adobe has Captivate - full blown program. Very good for simulations and demonstrations, but still lacks in some areas such as versatility to add editing callouts, etc.
Camtasia - definitely getting better, in my opinion - only been using the new version for a short time now, it is the best in capture and ability to add captions, etc.
SnagIt 9 by TechSmith (same as Camtasia) - pretty good little program, but needs some help.
There are a ton of free utilities, but they all only have partial features. Screenr is one of the best online ones.
In the world of eLearning, there are a lot of similarities between web dev and eLearning. An awesome product for screen casting could not only hit the web dev community, but help out us eLearning fools too.
