Searching for a screen-casting program

I recently went onto the LMS and looked up screen-casting that had been referred by the Murdoch website. There were a few screen-casting tools ideas that had been recommended but I ended up choosing Screen-O-Matic. Screen-O-Matic was easy to use and did not require you to download it onto your PC. A couple of others that were mentioned on the LMS were Screenr and Jing. Both of these were also good when I had a look at them as they seemed to have straightforward instructions and had some handy features such as 5 minute limited recording time and a pause button. I did try to download Jing and found that it was not working on my computer which frustrated me too much to investigate. I then went onto the Screen-O-matic website and had a bit of a play around and I found it much easier to use as it provided instant access and automatically went onto your drop down bar on your desktop. Screen-O-Matic was also compatible with You tube (which was the avenue I went down to upload it) and was easy to embed onto my webpage.
