Best Screen Recording Software for Mac?

Looking for recommendations on a good computer screen recording program, as I'm trying to make a tutorial video, and need to be able to record what I am doing on my computer screen.

Would prefer free, but don't mind paying a bit - quality is most important. Any advice would be appreciated - thanks!

TBD, Mac OS X (10.6)

For a somewhat cheaper product that still gives you amazing clarity and has a bundle of different features check out iShowU HD:

2nd vote:
without doubt - Screenflow

why ?
because, it is not only a 'grabber', but it includes an 'editor', drop-dead-simple as iMovie, which includes many features ESPECIALLY made for tutorials - e.g. you can zoom-in after recording without quality-loss, you can change cursor-size, highlite, 'print' pressed keys on screen, add a pic-in-pic (if you like your face in your tuts 😉 ) ..

side-note: screen-grabs are off the standards, iM or FinalCut/express support! so, a built-in editor is a ++ ! (the exports/uploads from a SF-project are superb!)

not cheap, but worth every cent!
