Desktop recording

[scubaj]

Prior to coming onboard the Apple bandwagon with my MBP - I had been using Camtasia to record things off my desktop (tutorials, how-tos, tips, tricks), etc. Camtasia does not currently have a Mac version of it's video production software. Can anyone recommend a good one that is also economical (I just dropped over $2K on the MBP so the wallet is a little light right now...) Ideally, around (or under) $50 would be my preferred price range.

Jing is free, but Snapz ProX is better

Yes, before it the only free solution was Copernicus, which had MANY problems...

Jing could be nice, but it has a 5 minute time limit, and it exports as .SWF. So far, I have not found any free screen recording app that actually works.
