I use AviScreen to capture screen activity. I’ve used it to make tutorials, record google sketchup, webcam, etc.
Update #1 I have an example in this post.
With Aviscreen classic you can capture fullscreen, predefined sizes, an object or resize the capture area in any rectangle you want.
You can decide which video compression to use, framerate and a delay before capturing.
When it starts to record the program will “hide” in the taskbar so it will not show in your capture.
Did I mention it’s freeware…
