unregistered hypercam doesn't record sound.

I suggest using CamStudio.





CamStudio is able to record all screen and audio activity on your computer and create industry-standard AVI video files and using its built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into lean, mean, bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs)





Here are just a few ways you can use this software:


* You can use it to create demonstration videos for any software program


* Or how about creating a set of videos answering your most frequently asked questions?


* You can create video tutorials for school or college class


* You can use it to record a recurring problem with your computer so you can show technical support people


* You can use it to create video-based information products you can sell


* You can even use it to record new tricks and techniques you discover on your favourite software program, before you forget them





CamStudio can also add high-quality, anti-aliased (no jagged edges) screen captions to your recordings in seconds and with the unique Video Annotation feature you can even personalise your videos by including a webcam movie of yourself ';picture-in-picture'; over your desktop.





And if all that wasn't enough, CamStudio also comes with its own Lossless Codec that produces crystal clear results with a much smaller filesize compared with other more popular codecs, like Microsoft Video 1.





You have total control over the output of your video: you can choose to use custom cursors, to record the whole screen or just a section of it and can reduce or increase the quality of the recording depending on if you want smaller videos (for emailing to people, for instance) or you can have ';best quality'; ones for burning onto CD/DVD.





But all of these features would be worthless if CamStudio wasn't easy to use ... fortunately that's not the case. CamStudio can be learned in a matter of minutes and comes with a comprehensive built-in helpfile, so if you do manage to get stuck, you can simply hit ';Help'; and get the answers you need.





CamStudio is completely FREE.

You can try Screen VidShot for it. It records screen activity. I used it for creating some video tutorial files with music that played on my computer. I know there is a trial version for testing and using. And company where I purchased this software offers teacher discount.
These are free screen recording tools

For that, DemoCreator is nice for you.
Try ';Super Screen Capture';
Try Fraps. It saves in Avi format.
