Is there Any Software Being Used for These Videos or Is it just Powerpoint?

looks like a simple powerpoint and camtasia video

Actually from the speed of the transitions this appears to be a flash presentation. While it does have similarities to PowerPoint Presentations, it is not the same. I believe without a doubt this is a Flash tutorial.

Basically flash has a timeline that makes it extremely simple to modify how long a graphic displays and the ability to add audio, video, and other elements to the presentation making everything look seemless during the presentation.

UPDATE:

Also a dead giveaway is the fact that the player being used is not the camtasia player. While they could have created a custom flash player, it is more likely that this is just a flash presentation... which all flash presentations are normally rendered as SWF files.

For Ryan Deiss' presentation, it's Powerpoint on
plain white background (or at least, I think it is).

The video is .flv format.

If I recall correctly, Amish's video should be done
using the Mac's KeyNote and screen capture too.

OK, a quick question on Ryan's stuff..

How did he make the buy now button appear only in the middle of the presentation, rather than from the start?

ALways wanted to do that... but never learned how..

So how can you do a Flash Presentation? Is there any software you can guide me to?

You can spend hours and hours learning Adobe Flash or
you could get something like Swish 3D that lets you create
flash presentations a lot easily.

Personally I would just go the Powerpoint + Camtasia route.

Well,I think it's just common ppt style.But the material itself is good.Are you meaning that you want to learn knowledge on Flash?I think there many free tutorials online.Just search it using google.

it seems like a powerpoint/keynote presentation but it might be flash, I can't really tell the difference.

Flypaper is the best out there IMO.

You can pull it off with or without Powerpoint, with or without Keynote. Armed with your free Windows Movie Maker, you can simply write your texts over a series of slides. Thereafter, once the voiceover has been added into the timeline, you can manipulate the pacing of the display of each slide.

The "pop-up" effects throughout the video, where a mini-screen seems to pop out of the main screen, is a staple of most video editors. It's called the PIP effect, or the Picture-In-Picture effect, where the display of a picture within a picture can be manipulated, including its own transitions.

My guess, however, with regards to this particular video, is that it was created using Keynote and rendered as a Quicktime movie and later on converted to SWF.

No one does straight Flash presentations from the ground up anymore. It's too time consuming, and for beginners, the learning curve can be very punishing.

Just create a video as you normally would, and feed it to your favorite video conversion utility. Most video converters these days will convert your videos into SWF and FLV anyway.
