What's the good software to capture anything that is going on at my screen to a video file that I can later on upload to let's say YouTube? I'm using Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

QuickTimeX comes with OS X and can do this for you.
Some other good 3rd party tools:
I think Snapz Pro X is the best of the bunch for video capturing.
Scratch that! Snapz Pro X is expensive and slow and rather outdated at this point. I've started using Screeny and love it. Integrates with CloudApp for uploading if you like, has a slick easy to use UI, and most importantly doesn't cripple my machine when recording a screen cast1.
1: This could also be the 12GB of ram and quad-core processor, but I like to think it's just a better written app.

Open QuickTime / File / New screen recorder.
See this video
As others have said, Quicktime X can record both sound and video. Another free option is Copernicus. I used that successfully under Leopard. I've not tried it with 10.6 but see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Another for consideration is iShowU. It's not as heavily marketed, but it's updated fairly frequently and it's got a much more Mac-like interface than Snapz. It's really powerful without being difficult to use, too.
