Looking to download Camtasia Studio Retail version for free ? Read this..
Camtasia Studio is by far the best screencasting software – its currently available only for Windows though a Mac version of Camtasia is under development.

Now a full retail version of Camtasia Studio 5 costs $300 but you can have Camtasia for free.
Update: The free Camtasia Studio offer expired on Jan 7.
The only catch is that this offer is available for Camtasia Studio 3. Download the a full working trial copy of Camtasia Studio 3 [removed] and then request a registration key from Techsmith [removed] to convert that demo into a full licensed version.
Update: Download Free SnagIt Screen Capture
Though you may miss some of the new features like Auto Pan and Zoom, Camtasia Studio 3 will still solve most of your screencasting problems – also includes quizzing, titles, PIP and support for recording PPT presentations.
Once you download a free copy of Camtasia Studio 3, it can be upgraded to Camtasia 5 edition at half the standard cost. Thanks Paul.

This “free” version is a very old version,
which simply stalled on my modern PC.
Had to uninstall!
(Intel Dual Core, XP Pro w/latest patches,
2 Gig RAM, etc).
The prog froze when I tried to “Produce” a final version, with the “Recommended Settings”.
I tried *everything* f/their Support FAQ,
(incl. “Reduce Hardware Acceleration” to none, etc).
TechSmith is a good company, but installing this older “free” version in your PC is a loser.
Uninstalled!

Noel, you must be running vista. I had the same problem on vista, but worked fine on XP. I read through the docs and the older versions are not supported on vista.

I’ve tried on Camtasia Studio 5 and I think it’s very good. But I have some problems with “Camtasia Menumaker”, it didn’t support Thai language. Is there any suggestion? Thanks very much in advance.
