Magix Video Pro X and Movie Edit Pro 15 have a built in screen capture right in the editor, or you can use Camstudio. Get a free version of camstudio here.

I'll add to what Jay said, and say make sure you get the camstudio lossless codec. This project on sourceforge was dormant for a while, but someone has started dveloping it (it is the basis for Camtasia) but there are some issues with the audio. something with certain codecs being left out. I have the older version if you run into issues that way let me know and I can send you the older version.

Thanks Jay, Bill and Dreams Creation! I'm going to try Camstudio for starters and see how it goes.
