Camtasia is the de facto one for PC. I use iShowU on the Mac and produce it in iMovie. The default settings in iMovie hose it (i wrote a short tutorial here with the settings I've found to work best-> http://www.scrollinondubs.com/2007/06/12/produce-a-clear-scr...)
I've also heard that Snapz is good on the Mac but have not used it personally.
In terms of presentations, you can imagine combining live-action with infographics and a product demo. This is an involved process and requires production and editing knowledge. Fuel for thought--imagine taking Jonathan Harris' presentation of 20 minutes and editing it down to less than 10 with a focus on facial close-ups, infographics, and product demonstrations.
