Dave, I think you're comparing direct Camtasia output of a single screencast with Captivate's output of a collection of smaller screencasts that are brought together into a presentation framework, where each chapter has a clickable link to it in a navigation bar on the left. Camtasia does this, too. You just open up the screencasts you've made in Camtasia Theater, click-click, and you're done. Same end product. You can also arrange the left navigation hierarchically.
