Lotus Screencam is up to the task. I've incorporated captioned screencams
into a help file with great success. You may have to do several "takes" to
get your captions synchronized properly, but the captioning functions are
pretty easy and fairly versatile. Nor was it a big trick to call a video
from the help while hiding the screencam controls from the user -- a nice
seamless interface.
