There is a free (but not open source) software I used awhile ago
called CamStudio which allows you to almost do what you did for the
Burrokeet demo Ross (you'd record the screen movements, but would have
to overlay your voiceover using something like VirtualDub, which is
FLOSS).
Trying to track down the developer's homepage it seems that they've
either stopped supporting it, or if RenderSoft is really the developer
(made some educated guesses to track them down), then CamStudio
evolved into RoboDemo, which has now evolved into Macromedia's
Captivate, and now costs $499US to purchase. There are still FreeWare
copies of the old CamStudio software out there for download though, if
anyone in T'dad wants to check it out just do a google search for it
or check http://www.freewareweb.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?ID=1640
