| Can anyone recommend a good screen grabbing tool that will allow me to record anything from game footage to desktop footage? I have tried Fraps which works well with the games part but cannot capture from my desktop. CamStudio seems pretty good but a little slow but does do both the tasks that I need. Camtasia looks nice but it`s far too expensive so I will not even try that. Have I missed any good (preferably free or cheapish) products? Thanks for any suggestions. Jason. BTW, I know that this topic has been asked before but I`m looking for a more up to date list so thank you for taking the time to read this. |

| Are you talking a video capturing or plain screenshot? For video Hypercam2 isn't bad. It's free but puts "hypercam 2" in the corner of your video. It's not too big of a deal though. For a screenshot, lightscreen is pretty good, and its on Portableapps.com so you can run it on a pen drive http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/lightscreen_portable |

| Camstudio has no frame delay if you record a small area, for me sizes below 640x480 resolution were ok. I remember looking for a good free video capture tool a while ago and Camstudio was the only good one I found. |

| @Sauer : Video capture. @markcw : Thanks I have tried it but it causes a few problems on my system. Anyone tried the latest beta of CamStudio yet? Also to anyone who owns Camtasia, how good is it, is it worth the money? Jason. |
