Unless you are recording realtime video, this is good enough and we’ve never had complaints about the fps rate.

But I want to use like a Growl notification of each keystroke like you’ve started to do in recent screencasts. Please let me know which software are you using. I want to use that in my next screencasts, since I run a blog in spanish about Tips for OS X. Thanks. Panuc.com

But point taken – if you’re just showing settings, and where those settings reside, something around 10fps would probably get the job done.

In my experience a framerate around 10fps for screencasts does a equal job at dramatically smaller file sizes! I’ve learned that from Scott Bourne at http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=223 (it’s a little bit tricky downloading the actual movie, but you can)
