Depending what your budget there are a number of good web based services out there. This breakdown is pretty good although I only have firsthand experience with WebSort (free version) and Crazyegg. If all you need to capture is audio/video I know some people that have made due with Camtasia, which

I've used this in the past: http://silverbackapp.com/. It's Mac-only (which was actually a drawback for the project I was working on!), it's cheap, and did what we needed. It doesn't do nearly as much as Morae, though, so it might not have specific features you need? Julia On Thu, Jan 31, 2013
