I need to create a video of me showing someone how to do something on the computer. What is the best video capture program for desktop videos? I tried uTIPu and it didn't work very well.

If your making a tutorial or presentation you should go check out Wink.

I use it all the time when trying to explain how to use a program or something else.

to add to this I wasn't too impressed with SNagit and went with CamStudio 2.5 beta. It worked flawlessly and was completely free!

Total Screen Recorder has done it for years for me, no frills simple, easy to use.
It never lags my computer for me.
Also, it is compatible with Windows XP and Vista.
