We tried Camtasia for several weeks...it had a tendency to crash the system when compiling the footage, because the files were so large.  In addition, it outputs to .avi and is hard to convert to other formats.

Granted, these were long sessions - up to 60 minutes.  Camtasia may be fine for smaller files.  But it did not give us the best output.
