You could cut your training cost out of the budget that you mentioned. A 3 minute video seems to have a file size of only 6 MB , which is a big improvement from the 58 MB you refer to.

I know of a great alternative to CamStudio that I use and the file sizes are reasonable. http://utipu.com - It's Free!

The one you link to here is an older version of the resource list. Screencasts do not take too much space on a web site as they are usually published as flash objects.

Bandwidth use was a concern for me, but my group has no problem with files like these running internally. Interestingly, the best result for smallest file size and best quality audio was achived by recording with my personal laptop which has a decent speed of processor.

Bandwidth seems to be a concern here, and if CamStudio yields good quality "shows" with low bandwidth, it may be worth exploring. I've been playing with SnagIt for the past year or so, and if I keep the demos short enough, it doesn't seem to strain my relations with IT.
