More training onto iPod

Had a problem a week or so ago where I wasn't able to get our Flash training modules onto iPod or PSP because of the way that they were created. Well I did a bit of lateral thinking and came up with using some screen capture software to run through the training module. All I had to do then was convert the resulting avi movie to MP4 and I was able to load into iTunes and the PSP software (cant remember what they call it)and subsequently onto the iPod and PSP. The quality was fine except that the mike on my laptop picked up sound from me moving my hands over the keyboard. Perhaps I can set it up so that it only records the audio from the training material and not external input. (Although how useful would that be? being able to narrate whilst you show someone how to access software or use the internet...you could develop a training video very quickly and cheaply for people to play later.
OOh sorry I forgot to tell you the software I used: Snagit8 and ImToo both are available for a free trial download...give it a go and see what you can do!
