I am making a video of a CMS in action. Any ideas which codec might be a good idea?

Check the MS codec offerings – there is one actually optimized for screen playback. As it is a DirectShow codec, adobe should work with it. Flash is another matter, but then tehre you are limtied anyway.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/codecs/video.aspx
has all the normal codecs. Scroll a little down for the Windows Media Video 9 Screen.
I used that for a couple of demonstrations and that worked very nicely – especially as it goes to a lossless thing when not a lot changes, which is VERY typical for demos that do not include games (as most of the screen is actually static).
Playback works on every windows machine.
If you need something platform independant, you basically are out of luck. Nothing there that is screen optimized.
