Thanks for the help in figuring this out. In my searching today I found out that Camtasia is now available for Mac OS X. Check it out at http://www.techsmith.com/camtasiamac/ Great post.

I thought I'd be going nuts after trying approximately 2000 different combinations of capture, output and compression settings. But your advice really gave a good result! Thank you so much!

I actually just watched a video of VMware on YouTube and it does look like a sweet application so I might just bite the bullet and give that a try and revert to Parallels if the sky begins to fall around me. :) rob - Thanks for the link to Snap Pro X 2, it actually is pretty cheap at $69 for the software versus $300+ for the Camtasia software. sean – Thanks for the insight into Parallels.

Parallels is a virtualization technology like VMware that has a more established product for the Mac, although VMware is really making strides with their Fusion beta. iShowU seems to be pretty good for screen capture on the Mac- the files it produces are rather large though (1.2 GB) compared to the ones coming out of Camtasia (20 MB). I probably just need to futz with the compression settings in iShowU to get that filesize down. sean Tomas- no bootcamp- I’m running a WinXP instance under Parallels on my Mac.

I've used Camtasia (Windows free trial & was thinking of purchasing) with great results and was hoping to find something similar for the Mac. And from the looks of your screen capture, it appears that this might just do the trick. Out of curiosity, are you using Bootcamp to run Windows on your Mac or are you just using two separate computers? Hey Sean, thanks for sharing!
