Anyone know of any free screen recording software? I'm trying to do a quick tutorial but I need something that's pretty decent to capture the progress. I'll do the timelapse within premiere. Thanks in advance.

I've been using CamStudio, it's free and does what I need it to.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=131922

I haven't bothered tweaking with the codecs much, I usually get a huge file - 500mb or so for 20-30 minutes, but if compressed using the best compression option as a .RAR in winrar that 500mb becomes 30mbs somehow ... magically. So, you get a really great quality file for a smaller size than you could recompress with a video codec - go figure.
