Seeking screen capture plus audio application

Hello Experts - I am looking for a free utility that will capture what happens on my computer screen along with audio from a microphone.  I've tried a couple apps so far but they either don't get the audio or have limits on the length of the capture.  We're going to use this to capture training sessions for staff and the videos may run as long as a couple of hours.  Anything out there that would work for what we want to do?

CamStudio?  Unlimited recording time, although you should avoid creating files larger than 2GB so for longer files you might want to reduce resolution.

I did see CamStudio but the output is limited to flash (uggh) and I believe they also limit the amount of time each clip can be.

Well it is free :)
It outputs videos as .avi or .swf

And there are all manner of free editing or conversion tools you can use with the output.

All the cards here are AMD but I'll check and see if they have something similar, thanks.

I agree with you, its worth a couple bucks to get decent videos!  I'll talk it over with the team and see if they will go for it.  Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
