Music that licensed under the "non-derivative" clause can't be used with video at all, neither you can use music that use the "non-commercial" clause if your video is going to be on a web site that has ads (that includes youtube, or your own blog that might have ads). And to use music that use the "share alike" clause then your own screencast must be licensed under the same license. So, things are not that simple as some want you to believe about CC music.
