Jing is a well known screen capture tool. I use the paid versions, SnagIt and Camtasia. They are all products of TechSmith.
The "How-To Videos" are by Russell Stannard. The advanced videos "show you how to access the JING server where your videos are stored. You can embed the JING videos, leave attachments etc."
