On the PC, I use Camtasia to record various screencasts. Is there something similar for the Mac?

Theres a myriad of these for Mac, but one that stands out for me is Capture Me, it's free and open source. Not to mention very easy to use:
Features:
- Globally floating capture window.
- Record short MPEG-4 QuickTime movies.
- Fast screen captures (uses OpenGL).
- Ability to down scale captures (proportionally or not).
- Save as PNG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, TIFF, or GIFF.
- Adjustable translucency of capture window.
- Several ways to adjust the size and position of the capture (move the window, arrow keys, scroll wheel).
- Nifty capture sound.
- Options to auto-save to desktop, auto-copy to clipboard, etc.
- Barest beginnings of AppleScript support.
- Written with Cocoa - native to Mac OS X.
- Universal binary - Intel, PPC native.
QuickTime X will do screen recording, www.screentoaster.com is a free web-based screen recorder, there are lots of screen capture programs for the Mac, ScreenFlow is a very popuar one, but if you are used to Camtasia and like it, Camtasia has a Mac version.
