Hi Martin,
I agree. Between WME and Snagit 7 I'm able to capture pretty much
anything I need to develop tutorials.
Snagit now has video capture capabilities as well as many other
features and it's much cheaper than Camtasia. I never liked the audio
capabilities of Camtasia anyway, so I've always used a separate
program to add/edit the audio anyway.
Best regards,
