Finally TechSmith is developing for the Mac. Their main product Camtasia is the best screencast software / editing package IMO in the range of a couple of hundred dollars. But of course it's only on Windows at the moment.

Their new Jing Project is very exciting and quite good, but not great. The one place it falls short is that it only saves files in SWF (Flash) format. That's fine for playing, but you can't do anything else with them. For instance if you want to edit a recording as in snip a few seconds here and voice over a few seconds there you're completely up the creek.

SnapZ Pro would be OK if it would just let you pause a recording. Short of that I find it generally not very useful verging on useless.

The best hope for screencasting on the Mac for which there are currently no good options South of Final Cut Pro ($$$$) is still when Camtasia is release on the Mac.
