You can actually import the session into Camtasia and edit it there just my Importing Media Files

You can remove the sounds from the vid if necessary by using the "Replace Audio with Silence" option and then just record your own narration as normal.

I do this randomly with UFO Enemy Unknown vids I record from DOSBox....ridiculously addictive game.

If you do this, you have make sure you turn off the "hardware acceleration" of your monitor. This is really important. You can find where to turn that off by right clicking your desktop and it's in the advance properties.

I've just tried it, but here it works without turning hw acceleration off.

this fucks up on my comp so i use the entity-approved method of playing back and re-recording in either WMP or VLC.
