If you're using vista, it has one built in which pretty much does what I need called snipping tool. In the past, I used the screen capture built into paintshop pro or simply the print screen button. With those options available, I never really bothered with dedicated software for the job.
i use camtasia studio 6 but its like $300.

I use the "Print Screen" key and paint (or PS).
Good deal. I probably should have clarified a little more. I'm looking to do video, not still screenshots.
Ahhh lol - yeah that makes something of a difference lol - I hereby withdraw my suggestions and erm, well, can't help you as I've never captured on-screen video in my life - but I will be watching the thread in the hope of learning something new for if and when I do need to :P
there was a free one that I got off of download.com, dont remember what it was called but it was the top rated shareware one over there. :S it worked really well.
How could I forget about download.com? +rep for reminding me. This one actually works really well. http://download.cnet.com/Free-Screen...html?tag=mncol
I personally use Total screen recorder. There is a free 30 day trial and then you have to pay for it. The trial has every feature of the full version.
CamStudio free open source :santa: CamStudio is able to record all screen and audio activity on your computer and create industry-standard AVI video files and using its built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into lean, mean, bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs)
I've used it a few times and files sizes can be quite big as they are raw AVI but it's not really a problem if you've got a decent size HDD.
