Flash Video Recorder is an advanced tool designed to enable you to 'capture' your computer screen in real time. It can record any activity on the desktop, including mouse movements, keys pressed and save the resulting file into a video playable on most of the existing media player software.

How to take a screenshot or record video on a Mac
You might want to capture part of the screen on your Mac -- maybe a menu from a restaurant you want to visit or a part of a website -- to share with someone else. Or, maybe you want to record video of your Mac's screen. Both tasks are really easy, so we'll show you how.
To capture a screenshot of the entire display:
- Tap Shift + Command + 3.
- Find the picture on your Mac's desktop.
To capture just a part of the screen on your Mac:
- Tap Shift + Command + 4.
- Find the picture on your Mac's desktop
To record a video on your Mac:
- Open QuickTime
- Tap 'File' at the top of the display.
- Choose 'New Screen recording'
- Hit record.
- You can record the whole screen, or click and drag your mouse cursor to record just a specific part.
Currently, I use Jing on my Mac OSX with my team to make a short 5 minute screen recording (with optional voice record). Unfortunately, it doesn't save it in a format that can be viewed on iPads or iPhones because it is recorded in Flash. Is there a free screen recorder out there which does the same thing but stores it in webm format?
The problem with Googling for this is that I'm finding that there's a lot of malware for Mac popping up now. Where, if you install the application, it puts adware on your Mac as well.

As @Tetsujin mentioned in the comment use builtin QuickTime Player. Simply choose File ->New Screen Recording... or press ⌃ CTRL+⌘ CMD+n. You can record the whole screen or selected area.
