Unfortunately I can't help you too much, I just use the built in feature... have you asked Google?

Paz_Enai: Yup. Was just hoping for some recommendations. I use camtasia but want to run a SD & was hoping for something free.

athorp: Thanks. I'll check that out!

Ahh I see, sorry I couldn't be of more help...

try Jing (jingproject.com) it's free screen capture - allows up to five minutes at a time. I use it to grade my grad students papers&love it
