  Recording Screen Activity During Usability Testing

The short version is that Camtasia (www.techsmith.com) is a great
choice and Hypercam (http://www.hyperionics.com/hc/) might work well
for you depending on circumstances. It would be best to avoid Lotus
Screencam, the previous de-facto standard.
  
I understand that prices for both Camtasia and Hypercam have since
increased. There are some other tools out there, but I can't name
them off the top of my head.
