You can get a free trial for Camtasia Studio, I believe. It's pretty good for both video capture and editing.
I had Camtasia Studio in another computer (the one that's out of service :P) which was good to record and edit the same video taken, and had a useful function to post to You Tube directly. Regarding the others, I haven't tried them before. I'll take a look and give one of them a try. I'll let you know what worked for me. Thanks a lot you guys! :D

Well, editing-wise, I use Adobe Premiere/After Effects, but it isn't free for you, so yeah...
To be fair, I don't use Avidemux that much anymore--but it's still a good editor.
I usually use NCH VideoPad nowadays. NCH is sort of free (some strange 'student' and 'express' editions that appear and disapear on their website from time to time).
It has rather good features and excellent configurability. The flip-side of the NCH video editor is that it works more slowly when converting and rendering (no threading at all, Avidemux kicks its butt here), and it requires all video files be converted to MPEG (which it does automatically without lowering quality). Which isn't too bad, just caveat emptor, since you will want to either delete the new converted MPEG or the original when you are done.

You know, I've been meaning to get into doing LTs/LPs. I may have gotten a copy of CamStudio (back when YDS started it all), but I might look into these other options.
Avidemux seems to be what I'm looking for ... simple to use and learn, but with enough features, including cleaning up noisy videos (taken through a cellphone, no less!). There is apparently a very powerful, hard to learn, poorly document one in Lightworks, which has been good enough to be enough to edit blockbuster Hollywood movies. I'll let you guys how it went ...
Well, I test-captured a half-minute of demoing a game in Camtasia, and the sound seemed good to me! I haven't tried to record with voice-overs yet because it just feels weird. I bet that sounds familiar to some!
Yeah, I have always felt my voice sounded so different when recorded and then played back. Last week was the first time I used a microphone and wasn't taken aback from hearing my own voice over the speakers in real-time.
Having a good mic makes a lot of difference, too. Even a cheap 3.5 mm microphone is vastly superior to laptop mics.
I usually end up editing my voice-overs in Audacity to make them sound more like I did when I had myterrible mic mic that had character, but now with much less background noise.

Camtasia studio is pretty good for screen capture, but my advice is to AVOID using it to edit the footage. I've had to re-edit Camtasia projects before and it was a nightmare.
Just export the capture and use something else. Adobe Premiere is extremely good but expensive, if you're looking for something free I'd recommend Lightworks.
