Okay, scratch that last post.  I did some digging among our video research
divisions and came up with iShowU, which is remarkably better for recording,
simple and inexpensive.  The compression program that I purchased alongside
it, Stomp, is not great.  I can't get it to run through an entire
compression cycle without crashing.  Thankfully, I don't need Stomp.  The
University of Minnesota has the Media Mill, which is more or less a big
media compression farm.  I've posted an example of the compressed screencast
here:

That said, the problem I discuss in the video is a real one.  You should all
be able to see it and judge the quality.  This is compressed Flash video
stream, but I should be able to do any conceivable format, including iPod
video, without any difficulties.  So, if you guys had a decent upload
location, I could easily queue and compress any video documentation you
wanted in just about any format you want.  If you've got some compression
software you'd rather use, that'd also be great.
