Procaster has been mentioned, and that's what I use and reccommend, but just as an alternative I'll throw ustream out there. I also think you can use Flash Media Live Encoder with ustream for higher quality, more video options etc.

Xfire's streaming isn't bad, if you already use that program. Just have it running before you launch the game and use Scroll Lock + B to start it up. Then link your friends to your Xfire profile's live video page. That's what I've been using to make my friends jealous, anyways.

Livestream Procaster is great.

Procaster doesn't work for starcraft 1, unless I'm doing something wrong.

I use Camtasia and Flash Media Live Encoder.

I use Fraps to record casts which go on youtube. If you are interested streaming live, (e.g. on livestream) then Procaster is your best bet.

I asked a few of them about a week ago, actually.
Everyone who responded (Rise, Diggity, Chumpesque(a WC3 commentator), and SC2Strategies) all use Fraps for video, and SC2Strategies and Diggity also use Audacity for audio. Diggity and Rise use VirtualDub to compile their recordings. I use SUPER to convert formats/drastically shrink file size.
Since I think the submitter was asking for livestreaming, just as a heads up; Fraps captures video to an AVI file, but doesn't do any kind of streaming.
Thats recording vods, not streaming which people use procaster for.
