Unless you are a professional and have your recording down to a science its horrible. I find most people that record screencasts in this way suck because they spend most of the "audio" time saying "umm.. oh yea this is what I was showing"</p> <p>record audio as you capture its make the screencast that much more professional.</p> my only recommendation is not to listen to folks telling you to record sound later.

Not to mention the "individual mouse track" issue, but the final product is just not smooth. So I had to switch (back) to SnapzPro, which is really impressive for all aspects.</p> I once tried iShowU, but the performance is too bad.

I use pretty much the same export settings that Allen uses, and I've had good results with them.

There is also a very good article linked from the Plasq site, on how they made the video for Skitch.
