Screen Capture
-
I was considering doing a video in connection with an article I'm writing. What (free) software can I use to capture the Vistual Studio window (as opposed to the entire screen) as I'm using it? EDIT =============== I think the term I should have used was "screencast" as opposed to "screen capture".

You can specify exactly where and what you want recorded.

It's a very paintless process, harhar. Marc

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013I use Instant Demo for all/any screen recording work of applications in use. You can get both a free and a free version - I've used the free one for the best part of a decade. It allows the painless insertion of captions and (more importantly) it allows you to wait for (or force!) the user to acknowledge a prompt before continuing. The cursor position is recorded as are mouse-clicks and keystrokes. Output is either an AVI or a HTML file and an accompanying SWF. File-sizes are tiny. I use it in preference to both Camtasia and Camstudio. Can't remember the other players in the field. Demos of the product can be found here: Instant Demo Demonstrations[^]
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013If you have a fairly powerful machine you can use Open Broadcaster Studio software. It is optimized for Live-Streaming but can also record locally. If you have NVENC-compatible Nvidia-GPU (7xx or newer) or an Intel i5/i7 3xxx or newer you can use their hardware encoding to record with virtually no performance hit. OBS if free as in free beer, open-source and can record the whole screen or only single windows (Vista SP2 or newer required.) If you need help, drop into our IRC help channel, #obsproject @ quakenet (or use webchat from the OBS homepage).

Luckily you can turn the "check for updates" function off and continue using 7 in it's fully functional form. Message me if you want more info. Edit - Found the link[^]

It allows you to capture screen regions, select specific appliccations or whole screen captures. It's free and there is no nag-ware. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/devschool/archive/2011/03/07/community-clips-one-of-the-best-and-easiest-free-video-screen-capture-available.aspx[^]
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Well damn! Thank you. :-D I've spent years cropping the entire screen to get only the focus window. Sigh.

Definitely Greenshot for still capture--very configurable, nice UI to get only the image you want, and configurable with regards to saving, edit tools, etc. Especially good with capturing screenshots of dynamic menus (web pages and such); just hit the "Print Screen" button and you have everything you need.
