I'm wondering if there's any software around that will allow me to record a section of my screen (or the whole thing) and save it in a video format. For example, if I were doing a video conference, and I wanted a record kept of it. Or (and this admittedly steps into sketchy territory) if I wanted to record a web broadcast for re-viewing later.
I'm running Mac OS X Tiger, if that helps any. I have considered an S-Video out to a VCR, but I'd like something more elegant if anyone knows of anything.

I tried one of those programs once to make a tutorial on the Morrowind map editor, don't remember how it was called though. Maybe ask Kurtz, or Gabe what they use for their live feeds?

If you're using OSX, you might consider Camtasia, or Snapz. Those are really the two biggies. One has better pricing.

Kurtz uses UStream. Not sure what Gabe uses.

Quicktime X has a screen capture feature. Don't think you can get that on Tiger though. Is there a particular reason you haven't upgraded to Snow Leopard?

Snow Leopard only runs on Intel machines. PPC (G4/G5) tops out at 10.5.x 'regular' Leopard. Quicktime X is an entirely new engine, it requires SL.
SL upgrade from Leopard is about USD $30 (single user).
SL upgrade from Tiger is about USD $170 (single user 'box set').
Both require at least 1GB RAM and about 10GB free HDD space.
If you are running Tiger because you still need to run some sort of 'Classic' program, you'll give that ability up if you go beyond Tiger (and you can't run classic apps on an Intel machine no matter what OS it is running).
