David,

If your prototype needs animation on the page (e.g. an animated
collapsible module), then you'll need a tool like flash, but if not,
you have much easier options.

Creating something genuinely navigable is easy enough (dreamweaver,
axure or even powerpoint), but even easier is creating something that
merely gives the impression of being navigated such as a series of
images that when you click on them they jump to the next one (you
could click anywhere, but you pretend of course to click the button,
link or whatever).

If the case of flash, you can either screen record, or build your
demo elements (voiceover, mouse etc) into the file.

In the case of the other options, screen record is needed.  Snapzpro
will do it.  Jing is another option worth looking at.

Finally, there's an option to integrate more than just the GUI,
which is somethign like Camtasia Recorder.  This will do the screen
record, and include microphone track, and do picture in picture from
a webcam.  It's intended for usability testing pointing the webcam
at the test participant, but you could point it at anything, so it
might help in your case.
