I think Jing is great for quick, down and dirty grabs to send to a friend or tech support explaining something, but beyond that its limits start to shine through for me. If you want a bit more flexibility but are still on a budget, you might want to take a look at <a href="http://camstudio.org/" rel="nofollow">Camstudio</a> if you use Windows (it's free and exports to AVI & SWF), if you haven't already. On a Mac <a href="http://www.shinywhitebox.com/home/home.html" rel="nofollow">iShowU</a> is very cheap ($20) and packs in a whole lot of tweakability.The developer behind it has just released a QT and core image effects frontend called Stomp too - great for easy resizing, compression, adding filters.

The video always plays at the recorded resolution which means capturing at the lowest resolution. Have you found a solution for this?
